I'm seeking meaningful work with brands and agencies committed to hiring underrepresented people in front of and behind the camera.
I genuinely love producing. The process, the discovery, the experimentation, the collaboration, the challenges…all of it. I love filmmaking and the creative process. The craft, the art, the auteurs, the techniques and the genres.
As part of the creative team, I approach every job with a clean slate. No matter how large or small the production, there is always something or someone new to discover. My approach is straightforward and collaborative with a talent for problem solving and keeping everyone on track. My temperament is unflappable and I'm always down for a good laugh.
