There was a time when I focused on my YouTube channel under the alias "MelliBL" in which I did recaps of BL (Boy's Love) Manhwa (Korean comics) that I loved. The channel cultivated almost 150 subscribers before it was hit by 2 copyright strikes, which ultimately endagered by channel. Sadly, I had to put that hobby to rest, but I am thankful for the experience.

Summary:
This project involved more planning, including note-taking, writing dialogue, and refining my ideas with ChatGPT. Although it received just over 1,000 views, I consider it my strongest work. It also marked the point where I began adding a silly bit at the end of my videos.

Summary: This was my latest project before my YouTube channel received copyright strikes. Unfortunately, it was difficult to complete this piece due to being discouraged. However, I am happy with the effort and direction of this video, since I decided to go back to impromptu editing and voicing.

About Me

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, I moved to Camarillo, California in 2014 in order to attend CSUCI. I enrolled as an Art major, but changed to Computer Science a year and a half later. I graduated with a B.S. in 2021, and got my first job offer shortly before graduating by Modern Campus.

I worked as a Technical Support Associate, followed by Technical Support Specialist II, then finally Team Lead in the span of (almost) 4 years. However, my curiosity and drive for change and growth led me to The Trade Desk early 2025. I was offered a role as a Platform Support Coordinator and have been thriving ever since.

I am currently in a place in my life where I want to pursue creativity with intention. I want to create pieces that come from the soul and align with my inner world that I can share through community. Although I do not know what this entails as I am in the early stages, I am proud to share that my piece "Agape Altar" will be available for public viewing at Gallery 28 LBC on Saturday, January 17th. An artist reception will take place from 2pm - 5pm and the installation will remain until the end of February, 2026.
