My background is primarily in theatrical and streaming features, and I am well-informed in developing, selling and producing films. I have worked in many different genres including but not limited to sci-fi, horror, action, drama, comedy, genre benders, period pieces, biopics, and superhero adaptations. I am a firm believer that specificity is the gateway to universality, and I love helping writers see their ideas come to fruition. I love working with writers who have a singular voice and a distinctive point of view and am particularly interested in female-driven stories! I love reading from a wide variety of genres and love getting to explore different themes!
