Multimedia Content Creator, LMU I have made movies ever since I was a child and continue to pursue a career in film.

These two interests brought me to Climate 360 News where I can combine two of the most important things in my life. This merge fuels my aim to spread awareness to the public about relevant and integral issues and questions and to ultimately elicit solutions.
