About me

I'm an MFA Directing Graduate from Chapman. I've been ADing for over six years on features, short films, web series, and music videos.

On and off set, I'm a hard worker, and no matter the project, I always put 110% in. Being a good manager is key to being a first on set. One person can't do everything, and managing teams is a skill I possess. I'm very good at divvying up tasks, assigning people, and following through to make sure the tasks are completed quickly, and efficiently. One of the keys to this is being a great communicator.
