Filmmaking has always been my calling. Back in high school, I’d round up my friends during our lunch break to shoot skits on my Flip camcorder. Ever since then, I’ve found nothing more fulfilling than bringing a story to life with other creatives.

​

As a post-production professional, I’ve worked with NBCUniversal, Disney, HBO, Food Network, Fabletics and Rocky Mountain PBS, to name a few. Since March 2022, I've refined my skills in feature film workflows as a dailies operator at Company 3 in Hollywood, where I've worked on projects including The Iron Claw, Road House, and Barbie.

​

Having been immersed in a wide variety of long and short form content ranging from E! News livestreams to The Midnight Quilt Show (the best crafting variety program to ever exist), I understand that nothing ever goes exactly as planned. Post often requires finding creative solutions to unanticipated problems and I thrive on the challenge of “making it work”. 

​

I graduated with honors from the University of Denver in 2017 and moved to Los Angeles in the summer of 2019. While I didn’t have much time to find my footing before the pandemic brought the industry to a halt, I quickly adapted to the new norms of remote collaboration and hybrid work schedules.

 

If you’ve made it this far, you probably expect some fun facts:

​

  • I’m an active cyclist when I’m not glued to a screen.

​

  • I have been actively looking for the best pizza in LA. 

​

  • I won a Halloween costume contest wearing a trash bag (as Bradley Cooper’s character in Silver Linings Playbook).

​

  • I worked on the Lizzie McGuire reboot for Disney Plus before it was cancelled midway through production… but I still consider it a bragging right.

​

  • I'm also a writer! I'm currently seeking representation for my feature screenplay Oversights, a satirical techno-thriller.
