Documentary & Narrative Storytelling
2026 JA NorCal Business Partners of the Year
I directed and cut this flagship video featured at Junior Achievement’s 70th Annual Business Hall of Fame gala at the Chase Center. I conducted interviews with executive leadership across San Francisco Bay University, AT&T, HSBC, and Grant Thornton.
In post-production, I synthesized distinct corporate and alumni perspectives into a cohesive narrative, managing audio, color grading, and custom lower-third graphics in Adobe Premiere Pro to highlight community mentorship.
JA Finance Park Pop-Up:
San Jose 2026
I documented high school students navigating real-world financial literacy simulations in San Jose. I managed mobile field lighting, camera setup, and wireless audio capture to record genuine student interactions and volunteer mentorship moments. I structured the final edit to highlight student growth for multi-platform digital campaigns.
Keep It Simple
For this San Francisco Film School short documentary, I explored creative dedication through direct subject interviews. I collaborated with a small student crew during principal photography, while independently handling field audio and executing the complete post-production edit from initial cut to final picture lock.
Brand Campaigns & Sizzle Reels
2026 Asians in Animation Impact Awards
I produced a fun, dynamic social media recap video compiling key moments from the 2026 AIA Impact Awards. I edited event highlights into a fast-paced, engaging sequence that listed and celebrated all of the evening's awardees, creating a energetic post-event recap tailored to drive community engagement across social platforms.
Beyond the Classroom:
JA Finance Park Pop-Up
I conceptualized and edited a fast-paced recap video capturing the impact of the JA Finance Park Pop-Up session. By pairing footage of interactive budgeting simulations with text callouts and student testimonials, I created an engaging visual story that highlights practical financial empowerment across digital platforms.
2024 JA Gaming Career Summit
I served on the development team for the inaugural JA Gaming Career Summit, a landmark initiative connecting youth with the gaming industry. In addition to event development, I managed the end-to-end media production—shooting the event, conducting on-site interviews, and editing the final recap video.
This project offered a rare opportunity to merge my deep, firsthand knowledge of gaming culture with my video production expertise, ensuring the final content resonated authentically with both students and industry professionals.
This was used as high-energy event recap video used for post-event marketing and stakeholder engagement.
JA SolarBuddy Company Commercial
I edited a targeted promotional video highlighting corporate social responsibility partnerships and corporate team-building initiatives. I focused on narrative pacing and clip selection to construct a clear story arc that illustrates community impact while driving volunteer participation.

Unboxed (2026)
Serving as Assistant Editor through the 2025 Asians in Animation Immersive Lab, I contributed to post-production workflows for a globally released animated short film. I assembled multi-scene storyboard sequences and built dynamic progress reels in Adobe Premiere Pro to test and refine story pacing, visual flow, and timing. Additionally, I maintained strict project bin organization, managed shared asset libraries to streamline collaboration across teams, and edited the official teaser and trailer assets optimized for social media promotional campaigns.
This piece was created for Asians in Animation's (AIA) 2025 Immersive Lab, Unboxed. It is joint property with the Immersive Lab leads, and first-look rights to use these ideas are exclusive to them. The program is a way for emerging creatives to practice their talents and industry-ready skills, and for AIA to promote new talent and provide education & mentorship.

Tea Leaves Last (2025)
As an Animatic Editor for the Asians in Animation Pilot Pre-Production Program, I assembled early-stage storyboards for an animatic pilot production.

I also edited the project's official trailer and collaborated with production leads to highlight emerging creative talent.
