Hi, I’m a development and production professional with experience across film, television, and digital projects. I love shaping early creative direction, collaborating with writers, directors, and actors, and turning ideas into tangible plans. I thrive in fast-paced environments and excel at building systems that keep development moving from concept to production. I earned a BA from Brown University in Political Science and Modern Culture & Media with Honors, and I’ve worked on projects ranging from intern roles to producer-level responsibilities with agencies and studios in LA, New Delhi, and remote settings.
