I am a filmmaker specializing in producing, associate producing, and production coordination, and I am passionate about creating unique and essential content.
I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a focus on documentary filmmaking. Then, I made my directorial debut with a short personal documentary, Life In Foreclosure, about the realities of home foreclosure. I continue to focus on mental health storylines through my work on Invisible Illnesses and Love Letter.
I have had a decade of professional experience as an independent producer as well as working for Kartemquin Films, WTTW Chicago, Apple University, and Apple Music.
Most recently, I worked as an associate producer for Apple Music Radio. Currently, I work for Apple, and I am preparing for my next project.
When I’m not working, you can usually find me running or hiking, watching a movie, completing a puzzle, reading, or spending time with family and friends.
