CJ has a passion for creating films that represent underrepresented communities like her own and showcase memorable moments. She enjoys art in many forms including movies, paintings, music, and especially video games. One of her fondest childhood memories was playing video games with her brother, who was often her biggest support system even through her experience in foster care and when she lacked her parents' support. Gaming was a joyful escape from her reality, allowing her to focus on beating her opponents and to bond and make memories with her brother.
