FILM AND TV

PRODUCER / AD

I completed my master’s in filmmaking in January 2013 and have since worked behind the scenes as a producer, production manager, and assistant director. Being on set is one of the most dynamic and collaborative aspects of the craft, where every department aligns toward a shared goal: bringing the story to life in its strongest form. Each project is distinct, presenting its own set of challenges and insights, and it’s this continual growth that drives my commitment to the work.
