Since then, I’ve booked multiple lead roles in short films, a co-star television role, and the lead role in an independent feature film, Magnolia Flowers. In 2020, I started writing sketches for TikTok as a way to explore comedy, a genre I had yet to be cast in.

This LED TO MY EXISTENTIAL EARTH SERIES, WHICH HAS GARNERED OVER 28+ MILLION VIEWS TO DATE.

In five months, I gained 550,000+ TikTok followers. With their help, I raised $20,000 for the post production costs of Magnolia Flowers. This is why Google now refers to me as an 'Internet Personality.'

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Ever since I was a child, I never knew how to answer this. I always knew what I didn’t want to be. I didn’t want to be a doctor, a lawyer, a baker.

​

I didn’t want to sit in a cubicle.

With my Math diploma in hand, I announced to my Irish immigrant parents that:

​

I AM going to be an actor!

I won’t lie. The internet attention was nice at first. It made me feel good.

Brands were reaching out left and right.
Successful creators wanted to collaborate.
Agents and managers wanted to meet with me.
Podcast hosts were inviting me onto their shows.
Filmmakers were offering me roles without me doing a thing.

I had been waiting and wishing for this since 2018.

So what did I do?

I quit.

I Simply Didn't have the skills to keep going.

I joined an Augmented Reality Studio as an Assistant Producer.

Soon, I was attending and participating in almost every strategy meeting - marketing, sales, finance, operations, you name it. In 10 months, I was promoted to Producer, then Project Manager, then Operations Manager.

I DEVELOPED A LOVE FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP (AND THE SKILLS I WAS LACKING BEFORE).

As an homage to my background in Mathematical Billiards and Ergodic Theory, as well as my grandmother who loved butterflies,

I decided to launch my Newsletter:

​

  THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT. 

It illuminates the connection between personal growth, psychology, and online business to offer tangible steps for

​

YOUR OWN TRANSFORMATION.

My ultimate goal is to empower creatives to cultivate a growth mindset, unlock their creative potential, and thrive in the online business world.

​

I finally understand why it took me so long to identify what I wanted to be. When I was crossing occupations off my list, there was one key word missing:

 

Creator.

Afternoon Light

Discipline equals freedom.

Discipline equals freedom.

Discipline equals freedom.

Discipline equals freedom.
