I have always been fascinated by the entertainment industry and by the possibility of telling stories that ignite real conversations and encourage social change. My realization that I have the opportunity to foster this social change through my talents and skills in writing and directing feature films helped me to locate my own path in the film industry. My role as a producer on the upcoming indie feature film Quarter as well as the process of writing, directing, and producing my own short film have both given me invaluable experience with the filmmaking process from start to finish. My previous internship experiences have granted me hands-on experience in the production and development of successful film and television projects and my current position as the Executive Assistant with Upstream Pictures continues to challenge and excite me everyday. I hope to utilize everything I have learned thus far as well as my own imagination to fuel my career as a writer/director of feature drama films centering around a genuine portrayal of women to help spark more conversations and promote positive change in our society.
