She aims to help underrepresented people feel seen, valued, and empowered through her work.
She holds an M.A. in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in forensics from Columbia University, where she was an award-winning researcher. Her background in mental health deeply informs her artistry and led to her selection as a George Lucas Scholar at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, where she earned her MFA in 2021.

She is a co-founder of Film Family Organization, which supported over 170 creatives of color in Atlanta from 2019 to 2024. She continues this mission through her newest initiative, the Creative Cornerstone Collective, an artist hub where craft, character, culture, and community are cultivated and celebrated.
She is a 2026 National Black Arts Festival Artist Project Fund recipient and a 2026 and 2024 Atlanta Mayor’s Office for Cultural Affairs grant recipient. Her recent film, Sext, earned Best Romantic Comedy and Best Actor at the 2026 Women’s Comedy Festival, screened at Debbie Allen Dance Academy’s inaugural Writing Herstory program, and won the Audience Award at the 2025 Broad Humor Film Festival. Additional honors include the 2023 Invest Atlanta Creatives Grant, serving as a director in the 2022 CBS Leadership Pipeline Challenge, and the 2020 ViacomCBS/NAACP Fellowship. In 2022, she wrote, directed, and produced five commercials and a jingle for a clinical nonprofit in the southeastern United States.
