Summary

I am an aspiring Director and Executive Producer based in Los Angeles, California. Briefly, in terms of my background, I received a BA degree from the University of California San Diego in Theater Arts. I also attended an intensive year of training at Vancouver Film School (VFS), in Vancouver, Canada, with focuses in Directing and Production Design. Since graduating from VFS, I have worked on various television shows including the CBS (now OWN) show “All Rise” as an Office Production Assistant, Post Production Coordinator and I am currently working on the same show as a Post Production Supervisor, as well as one independent feature film, "Double Down South" which I worked on as an Associate Producer.

I have good intuition and am a detail-oriented and independent worker. I also work well with others and I possess excellent communication, people, and organizational skills. I also consider myself a kind and compassionate individual, with a quirky sense of humor and a deep seeded passion for film. As I have worked in the film industry for the last three years, I also have gained great time management skills, as well as the ability to work well under extreme pressure. These qualities are reflected and have been reinforced by all of my work experience.
