Profile
I am a Japanese student documentary director, producer, and editor at Chapman University,.
​
In the past, I was a post-production and development intern at Edgeline Films, where I assisted in the post-production process of Couples Therapy Season 4, set to premiere on May 31st, 2024. I was also an intern at Entertainment 2 Affect Change, a programmer for Orange Film Festival, and worked on some independent documentary projects myself.
​
With my issue in social issue filmmaking, I co-produced and co-edited Shade in the Sunshine State, a film about the queer ballroom community in Florida. As a Japanese filmmaker, I am passionate about empowering AAPI voices, which is reflected in her film An Ode to Our Heritage. I aspire to be a producer for documentaries or long-form news shows as I graduate May 2025.
​
Outside of filmmaking, I love to crochet, snowboard, and vibe to some EDM!
