At age 14, I co-founded the New England filmmaking organization, Fountain of Youth Productions (FYP). FYP's mission was to produce short films created by youth and get kids excited about filmmaking.

​Throughout middle and high school, I:  
​

• Planned & conducted community workshops and events. 
• Produced, directed, wrote and edited two youth-made short films.
• Planned a movie premiere at local library for 150 guests.
• Spoke publicly to parents and attendees.
• Managed FYP's website and social media platforms.
• Raised $1300 through a crowd-funding campaign.
• Developed a national free, online summer screenwriting program for youth culminating in a script contest sponsored by Final Draft.
• Wrote articles and interviewed industry professionals for the FYP blog.
