Senior Producer who is passionate about fostering growth with a team-oriented work style, sprinkled with a light dusting of work appropriate sass along the way. I’ve always maintained that producers can make or break a team and have made it my work mission to live up expectations of the former.

Spent over a decade in the industry striking a balance between quality feature delivery and building camaraderie coupled with trust. In addition to that, focused on mentoring and supporting those who lack representation in our field. Diversity is the backbone of our industry’s future and should be nurtured with care, effort and understanding.
