I have been passionate about motion picture production since I made my first call sheet at the age of 7. For me it was always about the industry being an intersection of all disciplines, creative and technical, with a resulting product that harnesses the imagination and carries the magnificent powers of emotion. I dove in deep as soon as I arrived in USC’s production program, working with emerging technologies such as motion capture and stereoscopic 3D. Before I finished undergrad, I had been a Production Manager on a FOX web series and received a prestigious Alfred P. Sloan Award in Screenwriting. I started as the Coordinator at CounterPoint Films the summer before my senior year, where I became a core member of the documentary team for AWAKE: The Life of Yogananda. Following my passion back into narrative content, I harnessed my San Francisco Bay Area roots as a producer of indie feature For Here or To Go? -- seeing it through over the course of 4 years, with regular forays onto other shows as a UPM and Production Coordinator, until its theatrical release in Spring 2017. My most recent film (as Co-Producer), Where We Disappear, is a screen adaptation of the stage play, A Gulag Mouse. I am now a member of the Studio Product Innovation team at Netflix and am based in Los Angeles.
