Read MoreAs a Film & Television professional with experience working on both sides of the business/production dichotomy, I feel that I am well equipped to take on a variety of roles within exciting new industry projects. From creative writing to creative problem-solving, I have always found that the combination of my previously acquired skills with an ability for exceptionally quick learning has allowed me to make meaningful contributions to most teams that I have been a part of. Approaching each role and project with a no-task-too-small attitude, I have often been commended for my diligence and self-organization, borne out of a passion for bringing new stories to life.
My 4+ years spent assisting talent agency executives within the film, new media, and music spaces are complemented by a string of LA and NYC-based short film crew placements, ranging from Production Assistant/Runner to Producer. As far as my own work is concerned, I was lucky enough to be able to write and direct a short film, titled "The Appointment" that made it to Cannes Film Festival's Short Film Corner in 2019. In joining Talent Manager, I am hoping to continue expanding upon my previous production experiences, as well as meeting new like-minded visual media creatives here in London, and beyond. Always in search of unique stories to tell and storytellers to collaborate with, I am most passionate about bringing forth innovative perspectives and alternative angles to contemporary cultural narratives. Oh, and I promise I don't always say things like "contemporary cultural narratives" and am actually a fun time to be around :)
