I'm a Senior Production Coordinator and Filmmaker with over 6 years of professional experience working at feature animation studios.

I first discovered my passion for filmmaking at age 12 when I created my first YouTube video. My goal at the time was to share my music - I have been a violinist for over 20 years, and I also dabble in guitar, piano, and songwriting - but I was captivated by the film production and editing process, and my focus rapidly shifted from being an aspiring musician to being an aspiring film director.

In 2013, I had one of my films shown on the big screen for the first time, at the Ballston Spa International Short Film Festival, and it was awarded the “Best Editing (Young Filmmaker)” award. The following year, I began my studies at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts as a Film & TV Major. My education focused on hands-on live action production, and I directed multiple projects, worked in various creative roles on sets, and gained experience taking a production from script to final edit.

While at NYU, I also held multiple positions as part of the Fusion Film Festival team, from Editorial staff member to Department Co-Head, Associate Director, Festival Co-Production Manager, and Festival Co-Director. This experience introduced me to the world of production management, a world that I immediately dove into following graduation when I joined the Blue Sky Studios team, and later the Pixar Animation Studios team. I love combining my creative background with my management and animation pipeline knowledge, helping to lead departments and provide support to artists as we work together to tell heartfelt, visually-stunning, and inspiring stories.

Outside of my career in Production Management, I continue to write songs and enjoy performing music. I am also very passionate about preserving the environment and exploring the outdoors, and in my free time, you'll often find me hiking, rock climbing, or on top of a mountain summit.
