I am an Austin-based creative producer who is passionate about nurturing human connection through storytelling.

Currently, I’m an associate producer with film company Sailor Bear, where my work includes the development and cultivation of new projects with producer Toby Halbrooks and assisting on David Lowery’s upcoming A24 film Mother Mary.

I've worked in theatre and multimedia event production in Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York with companies including the Geffen Playhouse, Daryl Roth Theatre, Rivendell Theatre Ensemble, Northlight Theatre, The Joy Experiment, and the Ojai Playwrights Conference.

I have an MFA in directing from UT Austin’s Department of Theatre and Dance, a BA from UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television, and an immersive storytelling certificate from the Texas Immersive Institute.

Outside of my work, I am a proud dog mom and auntie to six amazing kids--three nieces and three nephews. In my spare time, I love to garden, am a huge foodie, and a lover of craft beer. One of the great joys in my life is cooking and sharing the communal experience of eating great food with friends and family.

My life and work mantra, "Together We're Better" comes from my mom, whose infinite positivity, compassion, and love for learning are a constant inspiration.
