I’m always looking for new opportunities, and love working with new people. There are always new doors to open!

I remember as early as the age of 10 where I attempted to write a script for my sisters and I. It was only a page long but that memory always stuck with me. It wasn’t until 15 years later that I started actively participating in acting classes. From there I got my first taste of what it was like to audition for a role in a local film. From then in I was hooked.

I’ve since worked on more independent films including production work, makeup, directing, and most recently screenwriting. I found that I love working behind the scenes rather than prepare to be in front of the camera.

I’m passionate about supporting my fellow cast and crew. And I’m also passionate about screenwriting. So much so that I have won awards internationally and it has given me even more of a spark to help others edit their writing for film.

I’m so excited to be involved in more films and someday I’d like to work on a TV production. I’m surrounded by so many talented people and I would love nothing more than to make the leap to full-time filmmaker.

I’m on the Board of Directors for  The National Independent Film Association and Antix Theatrix.  I was also a judge for The Film Forte International Film and Music Festival in 2020.
