I believe that art can change the world. I love working with creative individuals who are in love with what they do, and I have been lucky enough to collaborate on projects born of this enthusiasm. I am currently seeking an roles in film and television development and/or production. With experience as an office PA, production secretary, and assistant to directors and producers, I am looking forward to growing into the role of APC and learning more about the world of production. I am also interest in furthering important causes through art, especially related to climate, justice, and equality. My graduate thesis film, LIGHT YEARS, was released in spring 2020. I successfully completed the MFA program at the Savannah College of Art & Design, gaining valuable on-set training and experience, as well as mentorship from professors embedded in the film industry. Since completing my degree, I have been steadily employed in the film industry, gaining a reputation for quality work and reliability. From August 2018 to February 2019, I had the amazing opportunity to work as the assistant to five directors on the Hulu/NBCUniversal television series The Act. I gained an intimate understanding of the processes behind network television production and took advantage of the unique opportunity to see how different directors operate through pre-production and production. In 2014 I graduated from Queen's University Belfast, a top UK university, with a first class honours BA in film studies.

Manhunt is a one-hour historical true-crime drama based on the hunt for John Wilkes Booth after President Lincoln’s assassination. It stars Tobias Menzies and Anthony Boyle and was created for AppleTV+. As the Production Secretary, my responsibilities on Manhunt were very similar to those listed above for Clean Slate. My priority as a Production Secretary is to support the production of our show, first and foremost, and I did this chiefly by becoming an organized and efficient “information hub”.
