If we haven't met, I'm the Development Services Exec Coordinator here at Stage 32. I work with writers and execs to find projects that fit specific creative mandates. Before this, I was at Buchwald as the Motion Picture Literary Coordinator (aka where I got my unofficial master's), and before that, Circle of Confusion. I graduated from CSUN's Film School with a minor in Pop Culture Studies—so if you're into high-low culture, I'm your gal.
Also a member of Women in Film LA (which partners with Stage 32—let me know if you are too!).
In my free time: watching films, reading, doomscrolling (I'm doing better at that though!), and podcasts.
Love meeting people in this community and learning from all of you.

That mix of development experience, sharp creative instincts, and genuine curiosity is such a huge asset, both for the writers you work with and the conversations you’re part of. Thank you for all that you do!
