After graduating NYU in 2014, I came home to LA and hit the ground running. As I developed my writing and producing career, I worked as an assistant to A-List talent such as actor Tom Felton and director Emerald Fennell as she prepared for her Oscar winning film Promising Young Woman. Eventually I sold and developed TV shows with HBO Max, Warner Brothers and Sony, working on scripts, pitches, and finding talent. During the writer’s strike, I shifted focus on producing by making the Yacht Rock Documentary for HBO and later was brought on to produce “The Official Wicked Podcast” for Universal. I’m hardworking, easy-going, quick to learn, and passionate about all things Film and TV. My vast experience as both a creative and a producer allows me specific insight into development and a natural flow of communication. Having worked in all aspects of production, I can quickly adapt to whatever is needed to get the job done.
