Hello There!

My name means “one with high purpose.” From an early age, it was clear that I had a zeal for creating stories and connecting people. As my investment in the arts grew, my career path crystallized around media.

I’m a multi-hyphenate entertainment professional who finds purpose in developing resonant storytelling for the screen. I work across genres and media formats to produce content, focusing on development and screenwriting for film and TV. Specific genres of interest include biopic, adventure, rom-com, psychological thriller, and historical dramas. I'm also particularly interested in reimagining faith-based Christian narratives, expanding their relevance for diverse modern audiences.

I channeled my early passion into earning a Drama BFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where my acting training enriched my understanding of story analysis and nuanced character. As an actor, I've performed on both stage and screen, most notably as Pecola in The Bluest Eye at Atlanta’s Synchronicity Theater (Suzi Award-nominated). Performance helped me cultivate an instinctive eye for talent and fluency with the casting process, which has matured into a love of connecting talent to opportunity. Behind the camera, I have crewed major productions for Visual Effects, including Superman (2025), where I acquired experience with VFX client workflows and on-set etiquette.

Originally from New Haven, CT, I have lived in Baltimore, MD; New York, NY; and Atlanta, GA, diving into each city’s creative industries while also fostering professional relationships in Los Angeles. I am now based in Upstate New York as a recent graduate of Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, where I studied creative development, scriptwriting and coverage, and entertainment business principles.

Throughout my career so far, my focus has been clear: to develop purposeful entertainment built on connection.

Let’s create together!
