Bringing a story from script to screen, carrying the creative vision for the film project and leading a team to bring that story to life while collaborating with the client and ensuring their vision for the film is not only executed but exceeded. We work under time constraints and it is my role to find creative and inspired solutions for creating our best work in a limited amount of time. My background as an actor allows me a shared language with talent that aids us in moving swiftly and talent being able to quickly digest notes and embody them at a rapid pace. Given the content it also imperative to me to work closely with intimacy coordinators to ensure that talent feels safe. My background as an actor helps us here as well as I understand intimately how working on set in intimate scenes can be and feel and have a short hand with those intimacy coordinators by having worked with them on the other side of the camera as well. My second film with Crazy Maple, Waterboy, reached 25 millions views in the first two weeks of its release!

I am NYU Tisch grad (Drama Major with minors in Film Production and Creative Writing) with experience both behind and in front of the camera. I am currently a contributing writer for various online journals and magazines including a wellness journal for the kombucha tea company, Better Booch, and freelance locally in film production in Austin TX.
