About See This Through…
See This Through... is a collection of songs written through times of longing & heartbreak, memory & hope, and attempts to move forward after loss.
Recorded in intimate, stripped-back arrangements centered around voice and acoustic guitar, my album lives somewhere between late-night confession, journal entry, and living room performance — embracing imperfection, atmosphere, and emotional honesty over polish.
I wrote these songs across different chapters of my life, but together they became a reflection on the power of connection, fragility of trust, courage of vulnerability, hunger for validation and need for authentic friendship.

Film Projects
Based on the novel “Sparrow Migrations” by Cari Noga, Pacific Pilgrimage is a short film that follows an autistic boy’s fight to protect his beloved bird. My roles on this project include screenwriter, producer and composer.
My script has been recognized by the Blue Cat Screenplay Competition (Semifinalist), the PAGE Awards (Quarterfinalist), the Golden State Film Festival and the LA Independent Women Film Awards. My original music concept was granted support from The Puffin Foundation.
Currently, I’m writing the score as we complete post-production with an aim of submitting to festivals over the course of 2026 and 2027.
It was a joy to portray an aspiring musician and write the original music for “Good Vibrations,” an entry in the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge. It follows a singer-songwriter and an ASL poet who team up to help each other get back onstage after rough nights at an Open Mic.
