About

Working industry professional with numerous experiences in all sorts of entertainment roles, including writing, acting, directing, and most recently production administration. I take great pride in my ability to communicate effectively, over the phone or in email and other writing. In 2011, I interned at a small film studio in LA called 3D Dream Factory. There, I worked to put together a yearly film festival where only 3D films were allowed entrance. My job was organizing the festival, including setting up venues for concerts, communicating with the sales and sponsor representatives from other companies, interviewing potential workers like photographers for the event, and keeping the social media outlets updated. I Throughout the years, I have also written and created my own content, including a short film, Hoppiness, which I also directed, and numerous webseries like PopNerd and Drink N Dragons, the latter of which I also hosted. More recently, I started working for ABC Studios, where I work closely with Production Administration Executives by covering desks, managing content including scripts and other confidential materials, setting up for meetings, and assist in numerous activities around the office.
