Summary

Driven owner, producer, and designer for theatrical and cinematic productions. I have ample knowledge of acting and stagecraft from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. My experience working on professional film sets has trained me to expect the unexpected, and to harness the controlled chaos ever-present in any professional field available. My experience producing and developing communication lines between multiple departments in film has trained me to communicate in a clear and concise manner to achieve a common goal. Despite the difference in fields, recently I have learned the skills necessary to become a knowledgeable Legal Intern with solid understanding of research, organization, and relationship building. I am eager to support any legal team with research, documentation, and organization skills where applicable.
