My passion is bringing stories to life, driven by their resonance in societies across the globe. Following my love for community, and helping others find their own voice, I've worked with non-profit organizations such as MediCinema, B3 Media, Double Helix Corp (KDHX), and MCC Theater.

I am currently the Production Manager for The Moxie Institute Film Studio & Lab, which has had four films premiere at Sundance, won over 65 awards, and has been singled out by the New York Times as “Examining everything from the big bang to Twitter.” My role is also split with the 501(c)(3) nonprofit film-series called Let it Ripple: Mobile Films for Global Change.

My interests lie in the non-profit use of Film, Video, Television, and Screenwriting and welcome any special opportunities to partner in this sector.

Through experience as a participant in community arts programs as a teen, I've learned and benefitted from the impact that such programs can have. I'm an advocate for organizations that promote the use of storytelling and finding one's voice as a way to enrich and better the lives of all.

*Due to current commitments, I am not available as an on-set producer.
