BIOGRAPHY

Her most recent credits include the short comedy ESTELLE (2023), created by the Academy Awards’ Academy Gold Program, directed by Academy member Jeffrey White, starring Ellen Greene (Léon The Professional) and Shannon Dang, and Award-winning DAEDALUS, sponsored by FOX productions, which premiered at the iconic TLC Chinese Theatre and received a nomination for Best Original Score of the year with the Indie Shorts Awards 2024.
