Being a filmmaker will be a way for me to produce videos that share incredible stories and leave thought provoking messages. Using my creative capabilities, and challenging myself beyond them, I'm able to deliver unique and entertaining concepts that will impact all viewers. I’m a risk-taker and I’ll do whatever it takes to communicate and express ideas the best way I know how, through visual storytelling. I am simply passionate in creating inspiring and relevant content, but it is my dream to work in different areas in the film industry such as directing, screenwriting, cinematography, and editing as well.
My short-term goal is to create and build up a Film portfolio that will show my passion for visual storytelling. I want to improve my knowledge and skills in all different areas of Film production. Tying this in, my long term-goal is to be successful in my future career in Film. To be a part of the process in making films/content is one of my biggest dreams. Throughout my learning journey, I hope to find my style as a Filmmaker as well as create meaningful connections with people I share this interest with. It is my hope that I will bring friends, families and people together, as well as give meaning to their life the way movies, TV shows and videos had done for me.

Hover over the images to reveal what strength each symbol represents.

Noticing and appreciating beauty, excellence, and / or skilled performance in various domains of life, from nature to art to mathematics to science to everyday experiences.

Thinking of novel and productive ways to conceptualize and do things, include artistic achievement but is not limited to it.
​
Reflecting deeply more about who I am in my daily life, decisions, and consciousness, I believe that these results are accurate. According to the survey my most strongest is the Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence. This explains my love for film, music, other creative forms and learning about animals, the environment, connections and things in life I find interesting, remarkable and thought provoking. I find the beauty in nature, art, ideas and people. The virtue category this strength falls under is : transcendence.
Transcendence describes strengths that provide a broad sense of connection to something higher in meaning and purpose than ourselves.
Who am I ?
I took the "Who I Am" surveys from myBlueprint.ca which is an online tool for student portfolios and career education resources. The surveys show the students' learning style, personality, interests, knowledge and motivation. Listed here are my survey results.
Visual Learner
The best way for me to learn by looking and seeing. I prefer using visual media to organize information and communicate with others. I can easily visualize objects, plans, and outcomes in my mind's eye. This is why I believe I will be successful in directing a project whether in film or other platforms. I can see how an idea or scene should be lead in order for it to be well-presented, clear and understood.
The Mastermind
My Myers -Briggs psychological type is : INTJ
INTJs are one of the rarest of the 16 types - 2% of the population and 0.8% of women. It stands for : Introverted, Intuiting, Thinking and Judging. INTJs tend to be reflective, self-aware and enjoy thinking about ideas. We are visionary problem-solvers, we see big picture ideas. Though, we prefer to avoid the spotlight and work independently, we find ourselves in leadership positions due to our ability to devise structured systems that create work in a rational and efficient manner. Thus, emphasizing on the final product and meeting deadlines.
​
Artistic careers that fit INTJs include : Graphic Designer, Website Designer, Journalist, Editor, Film Producer or Director.
​
Other careers include: Computer Science, Urban Planning, Astronomer, Architect, Environmental Science, Geography, Geology, Nonfiction Writer, Social Sciences, Executive Manager

The Pioneer
The Pioneer is my interest type. My two primary interest traits are artistic and investigative. Even if an idea has been around for a while, a Pioneer can do something new with it. I love to work with new, unique ideas and help flourish and execute them in a creative way. My need for self-expression and active imaginations are fuelled by my desire to explore, study and understand whatever interests me. Pioneers are drawn to science and logic but prefers an unstructured space to be spontaneous and use their creativity. Though we may have difficulty explaining our thought process, people approach us for our creative ideas grounded in reality but push existing boundaries.
Creative Arts
My top subject area is Creative Arts, topics include: Visual Arts, Music and Dramatic Arts. I am best and most interested in developing my artistic abilities, techniques and ideas. My second subject area is Language Arts, topics include: Reading, Writing and Communication. I also enjoy reading and writing written pieces as I am interested in gaining a deeper understanding of literature.
​
Based on my top subject areas, the careers listed for me are in the Arts, Audio/Video Technology and Communications.
Support
Support is my top motivation factor which means it is something I highly value. I seek out the tools and education that will help me finish a task to my satisfaction. It also means, I feel comfortable in spaces where my contributions are valued and supports me in every way possible. Support can come in forms of emotional, moral, training, education, mentoring, or a physical resource like equipment, etc. It is important that I am treated fairly in my environment and I receive the support I need.
