I am very eclectic and versatile when it comes to my taste. When I first moved to LA, my dream was to work on YA shows like The CW's PRETTY LITTLE LIARS or Ryan Murphy's GLEE. As I grew older, I really started gravitating towards auteur-driven independent movies, in particular writer-directors with a unique voice across genres (Alex Garland, Sarah Polley, Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling, Andrew Haigh). In my career as an executive and a producer, I got to work on high-concept sci-fi and thrillers. I love a writer with a singular voice, and with something to say.
