I’m an award‑winning creative director and multimedia journalist with more than a decade of experience spanning newsroom production and strategic brand storytelling.

I began my career at USA TODAY, learning to report, shoot and edit on deadline, and later spent six years at AWS as an associate creative director leading global video campaigns, building production playbooks and directing crews around the world.

Today, I draw on that journalistic rigor and digital‑first visual craft to create video stories that help audiences understand the world and feel seen within it.

Outside of Amazon, I started my own independent project called Istorya, a pop‑up restaurant and cultural storytelling platform that explores Filipino culinary history and diaspora through immersive dinners and short films.

I grew up outside Chicago, studied journalism at the University of Illinois at Urbana‑Champaign.
