About me

I'm an experienced writer, director, and editor based in Brooklyn. I'm keenly interested in human stories and emotive visual storytelling. I love figuring out how to tell each story in its own unique language. Capable of handling various projects from concept to delivery, I enjoy the challenge and give each project my all. I can be a self-sufficient powerhouse, as well as a flexible team player, depending on the needs of the project.

I've studied at FAMU, Prague, and graduated magna cum laude from Barnard College with a major in Film Studies. Since graduating, I've worked extensively as a producer and editor with Google, as well as Barnard College, Barnes&Noble, Zagat, Coca-Cola, and others. My dance film TWINS "You Must Be Related!" premiered at NoBudge, and has screened at several festivals across the US. I'm currently writing my first feature film and am in pre-production for two shorts I've written.
