With over 20 years of experience as a filmmaker and storyteller, I have worked across a wide range of fields, genres, and creative environments. Living and working across different countries and cultures, and speaking multiple languages, has shaped the way I see and tell stories.
Moving between cultures has taught me to look beyond a single perspective—to notice the nuances, contradictions, and human connections that exist between different ways of seeing the world. This multicultural experience informs my approach to filmmaking, allowing me to explore stories from multiple points of view and to connect with characters and subjects across cultural boundaries.
For me, storytelling is ultimately about creating a space where different perspectives can meet, and where complexity, emotion, and human experience can speak for themselves.

Alongside filmmaking practice, I bring a solid background in training, team coordination, and international communication, developed through roles in education, teacher training, and organizational management. This combination has taught me strong leadership on set, effective collaboration with creative teams, and the ability to manage complex productions in multicultural environments.
