Let's Chat

I’m a creative producer with an MFA from Columbia University and a background in corporate production, nationwide product launches, and entrepreneurship. I transitioned into independent film with the same force that nearly held me back: the need for change. Now, I use that momentum to support bold, meaningful storytelling, with an eye toward producibility, collaboration, and care.

My work spans short films and features, including a recent collaboration with a Sundance Award–winning director. What sets me apart is a foundation in team management, fast-paced execution, and production systems that support the creative process. I’ve built crews from the ground up, managed tight turnarounds, and handled union paperwork with clarity and confidence, all while maintaining a calm, collaborative set.

Whether you’re developing your first short or building your next feature, I start by diving deep into what kind of film you’re really making, then help bring that vision into alignment with production realities. I offer both creative producing and workshops for filmmakers who want to bring their stories to life without burning out.

Let’s make something that matters.
