Everyone has a story // let me help you share it



 I'm a Toronto-based filmmaker and media producer, as well as a recent graduate from Humber’s Film and Media Production program. I was drawn to the film industry because I’m passionate about how media can shape how people understand both themselves and others.



 It takes quite a few considerations to get creative projects off the ground - and I'm here to help you through them! I've studied and trained in a wide variety of roles in the filmmaking process, and have a special interest in production management and directing.



If there's a story you need help telling, contact me down below and let's figure it out! I look forward to hearing from you.

1 I had a fair bit of musical theatre and performing Shakespeare in the park as a kid. From a young age I learned the hard work and satisfaction that comes from putting on a show for others.

2 I grew up in an area North of Toronto called Muskoka, but was born in the East coast province of New Brunswick. I’ve now lived in Toronto for nearly ten years.
