"As a Casting Director, I love casting across the board to bring characters to life and seek out the most exciting talent available. From attaching A-listers to discovering new, up and coming actors before their big break, I provide an extensive knowledge of the talent pool, creative ideas, and a fresh perspective to bring the perfect cast to the table. My work has led to awards and nominations for dozens of actors and productions."
"As a Producer, I am excited by projects that have heart, unique voices, and convey a deeper meaning. I love working with good people... people who love what they do, and do it with kindness and respect. We all have intriguing stories to tell. I want to hear yours."
