I’m an entrepreneur and in January 2027 I will be a student at the University of Miami. Growing up with parents who are producers, I spent much of my childhood on film sets and began modeling at the age of two, which later led to opportunities in acting. As I got older, my interests shifted. I developed a love for working behind the scenes in film, paired with a curiosity for business and finance. My uncle, who works at Merrill Lynch, has been instrumental in expanding my knowledge of the financial world, teaching me about stocks, cryptocurrency, and market trends through our weekly meetings. This journey has fueled my entrepreneurial spirit and continues to inspire me to combine creativity and business in innovative ways.
Exploring Business and Leadership
In highschool I was an active member of DECA, my school’s business and entrepreneurship club, where I shaped my skills and learned how to make an impact. I’m currently a member of YPO NextGen a community that connects young people with mentors and resources to help us grow into future leaders.
Getting Real-World Experience in film
I'm co-writing my first script with Mark Hefti which I will produce and shoot by the end of this year. I'm currently working at SP Media and Atlas Comics on the Paramount Pictures lot. These opportunities offer me hands-on experience to all aspects of the film industry, from financing and budgeting to creative production and distribution. I also work with Blueyed Pictures on commercials and live events, where I help develop marketing strategies, write business proposals, and contribute to brand development.
Productions
Some films I’ve helped produce have been featured on Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+ and the Hallmark Channel. They include:

Additionally, I’ve had a successful modeling career, working with brands like Guess, Target, Janie & Jack, and the Disney Store.
A Global Perspective
Inspired by my travels around the world, I worked with my mother to launch WorldRideAdvantures.com a brand that released it's first book in a series that intoduces children to different cultures and countries through the adventures of its main character. The books highlight the importance of diversity, inclusion, and acceptance. I chair the Youth Consumer Board of Worldride Adventures, providing insights on pop culture trends to keep the brand relevant and aligned with what today’s kids, like me, find engaging.
Looking ahead with everything I’ve learned in the entertainment industry and my passion for tech, finance, and business, I’m excited to take on new projects and attend the film and business programs at the University of Miami to continue expanding my knowledge.
How I Spend My Free Time
When I’m not working on film projects or preparing for college, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, training in Muay Thai, exploring emerging technologies, and following the worlds of investing and entrepreneurship. I also love traveling and experiencing different cultures, which continues to inspire my creativity and broaden my perspective. My journey is just beginning, and I’m excited for what lies ahead.
