About

A Bit about Me.

Growing up, I was always enchanted by storytelling, in all vessels of the medium. I found myself quickly entrenched in the world of theater and film, ultimately pursuing film and theater within higher education. Studying, formerly, as JEO scholar at Oglethorpe University and, then as, Thomas Brockway Scholar and John Dewey Scholar at Bennington College, I have found a unique focus in producing, AD'ing, directing, and screenwriting work, with an additional pursuit in playwriting. My on-set work experience spans from PA'ing on features (Mountain King,) producing category winning 48 Hour and Fright Film Comp. films (Unsolved: The Curious Case of Kenny Lucas and You See It Now,) extensive work in props and production design, gaffing, and AD'ing. I am happy to take on most any task and find such a reward in the creative problem solving and collaborative process of bringing stories to life.
