As filmmaker, producer, writer, SAG-AFTRA Actor, Anthropologist, I am driven by my interest in women’s stories, especially the ways in which women empower themselves. My background in cross cultural studies merges with my artistry, creating a wonderful lens through which to create documentary film. Many of my creations are heavily influenced by my work with homeless women. I am a graduate of Kansas State University, Northwestern University, and a recent graduate John Hopkins University Film & Media Masters Program. As a Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund Fellow, I received Development, Documentary Lab and Production funding for the making of “Ballet After Dark”. I enjoyed working with an all-woman team to film and produce “Ballet After Dark” and look forward to creating more stories about the lives of courageous, unique and dynamic women.
