Services offered

I'm a writer and filmmaker based in Toronto, Canada (previously NYC). I graduated magna cum laude with additional honors from NYU Tisch School of the Arts (Film & Television, Class of 2020). I have also attended one summer semester at Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2017 to perfect my use of the Russian language.

I am fluent in English, Italian and Russian and familiar with other European languages, including: French, Spanish, German, Romanian and Greek. My experience living in four different countries and my love for foreign cultures and languages are an integral part of my identity. I feel humbled by the opportunity that I have to learn and understand more about the world I live in.

I was first diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder at the age of 21 and I've been fighting this disabling condition for over five years. I use media platforms to speak up against the stigma that's been historically associated with BPD and other mental disorders both inside and outside of the medical community. BPD is a highly misunderstood disorder and the resources available to those who suffer from it are often insufficient and/or ineffective. This has to change.

Beginning in February of 2022, I have been an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Vladymirovich Putin's military operations in Ukraine. I have done extensive research about the Kremlin's massive use of anti-Western propaganda to justify the Russian-Ukrainian War and I have been using YouTube as a platform to share this knowledge with others.
