What is your purpose? (25 words or less.) If you had to describe your calling in life, what would you say? What are you here
to do? What gift is yours to give to the world?
I am here to open people’s eyes to life, to inspire people and to make people think about important things that aren’t normally thought about.
What do you love, and how do (or will) your actions demonstrate this? (250 words or less.) We at Gaia believe that
following your heart is the best way to help the whole planet. What do you care about, and what do you most enjoy doing?
What I enjoy the most is writing and creating films, which is why I am going to school to become a filmmaker. Many people see the glamour in being a director for films but that is the last reason why I am going into this industry. Ever since I have decided to get into filmmaking, over five years ago, the main reason for me doing so is to make a difference in the world and in the peoples lives that watch my films. I have learned that films can be a powerful tool and they can influence the viewers. I believe that films can make a positive influence and can inspire the viewers in many ways. A film is a difference experience for every single person who views it and I have always said that if I make a difference in just one persons life, then I have fulfilled my purpose. Too many people are influenced by negative things that consume television and the big screen. But once in a while you find an amazing piece of work that make the viewers pause and think. I want to be able to get into my viewers heads, make them think about important things in the world and in their own lives.
Write your ideal job description. (250 words or less.) Forget about job titles like 'doctor' or 'artist' or 'lawyer.' If you could get
paid just to live, how would you spend your time? What would you devote your life to? What would your days be like?
My ideal job is to write and to create films and while doing that being able to be a wife and a mother. I don’t need to make a film that is a chart topper, or that has great ratings or that is made by a big production company. I just enjoy sitting and putting my ideas onto paper and then watching them come to life. I can’t explain how much fun it is to be with friends and to create movies. I would be so ecstatic if I could do that for the rest of my life. I also know, ever since I was a little kid, having a family is on the very top of my list. I come from a family that is very close and I know that that is what I want in my future. Family is something that is very important to me and that will always come first in my life.
