About Me
Since I can remember, I have been drawn to the art of storytelling through film. I’ve been pursuing filmmaking my entire life, and have been fortunate enough to serve in a variety of positions across a variety of projects and genres. As a result, I am fluent in the language of filmmaking, as well as deeply familiar with how a film set works, moves, and flows from a micro to a macro level.
I’m excited by the latest turn in my career toward the position of Intimacy Coordinator, as it feels like the role on set in which I was always meant to serve. I bring a calm demeanor and an air of harmony to all of my projects, and am lit up by the process of creative collaboration with directors and performers alike to tell the most compelling version of the story at hand.
As the visibility and representation of the LGBTQIA+ community continue to grow in the stories that are being produced, my deepest passion lies in bringing my work to queer stories not only to insure their authenticity, but to also insure the comfortability and ease of queer performers.
