I'm an editor, producer, and choreographer. Born and raised in metro-Detroit, I hold a double BA in Film, TV, & Media and Art History from the University of Michigan. My love of storytelling led me into the world of editing, and I've been stitching together content for brands across the country since 2023. If you need to make things move, I'm your gal. In my free time, I've written, directed, and produced several short films as well as choreographed for both the screen and the stage. My work often focuses around issues of body image, mental health, and gender nonconformity. I am currently on the programming board for the New Generation Filmmakers Forum based in Chicago, IL.
