About

I have extensive experience in theatrical casting but am interested in branching out into film and television as well. I will be moving to the Los Angeles area in January 2016 and am open to freelancing or full-time work in casting or other areas. I am also very interested in the possibility of working in London. I am an extremely competent worker who learns quickly and easily, and at this point in my career am open to many different areas of employment.
