Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
A seasoned producer both professionally and personally, I've brought brands and individuals' visions to life. With 7 years of experience in the film production industry, I've managed projects for clients like GMC, lululemon, AMEX, Hilton, and numerous others, guiding them from inception to delivery. With The Heist since 2017, I'm now the Associate Head of Production working with an esteemed team of directors, producers, editors and animators in creating work that inspires us. Beyond the work weekday window, you'll often find me amidst the backcountry of British Columbia, an avid climber, trail runner and backcountry wanderer at heart.
