Welcome to my website! I’ve followed a number of different career paths within the entertainment industry, and hope to reflect that properly, here.
I received a BA in Theatre from Pace University, and was especially focused on Shakespeare, studying abroad at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and interning with the Shakespeare Theatre Company.
After graduating, I made the valiant effort many make, pursuing acting and stand up comedy in New York City. Although I managed to land some indie films, off broadway plays, and co-founded Eastville Comedy Club’s first ladies & LGBTQIA+ open mic, I eventually relocated to the Washington DC area, which is where I began working in film production.
Nowadays, I’m mostly a location manager/scout, who takes an acting gig whenever the opportunity arises. I’ll always love performing, but now I’m learning to flex the logistical part of my brain better, and have become equally as passionate about production. I really love being a location manager. I’m told I’m a shark when it comes to scouting, and I’ll admit, it does activate something pretty relentless within me. When I’m not working on film sets, I work with an event management company, helping run a variety of events from start to finish.
Some films I’m thrilled to have worked on:
“The Baltimorons,” directed by Jay Duplass, is a romantic comedy I was fortunate to have location managed. We had a theatrical release last fall, after winning the audience award at SXSW. It is currently available to stream on AMC+ , and is available for rent or purchase on most platforms. Go check it out, and let me know what you think!
“Step Back, Doors Closing” is a romance film I location managed that’s currently in select theaters, and will available via streaming platforms soon.
On the horizon, look out for “Young Men,” a thriller which wrapped filming last July, and is currently in post production. I had the awesome opportunity to merge my passions on this one: location managing as well as acting in multiple scenes.
I’m also excited about a few other projects I’m working on with my filmmaking partners, in various stages of pre-production. If you’re interested in what I have bubbling in the background, I’d be stoked to discuss. We are especially interested in speaking to script consultants, women & LGBTQIA+ directors, production financiers, and distributors.
Looking forward to hearing from you about your project, and how I can be of assistance,
