About me

After a diverse and rewarding career in both casting and psychology, I have recently discovered my passion for the production industry. For the last two years, I have been involved in casting and now I am branching out and wanting to be more involved in production. My professional background as a psychologist has afforded me a unique combination of skills and capabilities that have proven to be invaluable in this industry. Since the beginning of this year, I have steadily been working as both 1st or 2nd AD on various projects and keen to follow this path forward.

I work in a time-efficient, systematic manner, with rapid ability to problem solve in new locations and with different populations. I have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, which allows to quickly and effectively build rapport; remain calm in highly pressurized situations and have experience with supervising junior staff and supporting a large team.
