Writer Director Producer
BIO
I’m a filmmaker who focuses on dark, contemplative, and emotionally delicate stories. I’m someone who seeks to understand the misunderstood, the isolated, and the abnormal.
My work has screened at festivals such as TIFF, ABFF, Screamfest and more. I received my BFA in Motion Picture Production at Florida State University. I am a NALIP Emerging Content Creator scholarship recipient and in 2022, I was awarded the Nicole Emanuele and Steven Farneth Bold Reach Award, given to one filmmaker who demonstrates Bold choices in storytelling, aesthetics, production, and business pursuits with a strong point of view.
In 2023, I worked as a producer for McCann NY where I produced live action, animation, and radio projects for Microsoft, US Bank, New York Lottery, ULTA Beauty, L’oreal and more.
I currently reside in the mountains of LA where I write, produce, and direct full time.
