I bring a fresh, innovative approach to visual communication, drawing on years of varied involvement as an indie filmmaker, vibrant interpersonal skills, and a unique lived experience. These attributes enable me to identify creative solutions and perspectives often overlooked. With a proven history of crafting and delivering compelling scripted and unscripted content, I excel in managing every stage of production—from concept development and scriptwriting to budgeting, scheduling, and post-production. My work is fueled by a passion for storytelling, grounded in extensive research and production experience. I bring my positive mindset to a blend of administrative precision and creative vision, excelling at team collaboration, talent development, and managing complex projects to create impactful, audience-focused content.

I have always been one for comedy, tall-tales, and low-country magic– the kind that lies in a hot bowl of grits. I'm a LA- and South Carolina-based writer, filmmaker, and artist who has always celebrated the weirdos, being one myself– queer, HIV-Positive, and disabled. A core driving force for my work is prioritizing the narratives found in underserved communities, often telling harsh truths with fantastical flair.
