Savvy Storyteller

I was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, where I picked up a Midwestern work ethic—meaning I’m obsessive about achieving goals. Swimming was my first love and after years of early mornings and relentless training, I earned a Division I scholarship to Missouri State University, where I also served as team captain.

My passion for arts and entertainment led me to an internship at the Goodman Theatre in the public relations and marketing department. From there, I built a career in communications, working both in-house and freelance for a diverse mix of arts, entertainment, lifestyle, and corporate clients.

Then, I did what any dream-chaser would—I sold everything, bought a car, and drove to Los Angeles to dive into the film and television industry. I worked my way through the production ranks, gaining a deep skill set in conceptualization and writing, creative problem-solving, production management, budgeting, field producing, locations, props, and set dressing.

Helping people bring their creative visions to life is what drives me. As the eldest daughter, being organized, caring, and (let’s be honest) a little bit bossy is in my DNA—so starting my own business felt like a natural next step.

Outside of work, my (often meticulous) hobbies include cooking, gardening, ceramics, crafting, swimming in the ocean, Nintendo, Cubs baseball, reading non-fiction, and writing.

Drop me a line and say HELLO! Let’s talk baseball, favorite recipes, or how I can help bring your creative vision to life.

  • While I can’t guarantee an all-female crew, I have a strong network of incredible female filmmakers across the industry. If a female-centric team is the right fit for your project—whether for topic sensitivity, representation, or a unique perspective—I can assemble a talented crew that aligns with your vision and needs.

    Let’s create something powerful together!

  • To find the perfect location for your shoot, I’ll need a few key details:

    📍 Type of location – What kind of setting do you need? Indoor, outdoor, urban, rural?
    📅 Shoot window – When do you need the location, and for how long?
    💰 Budget – Knowing your budget helps narrow down the best options.
    🎬 Cast & Crew Size – This impacts space, logistics, and permit requirements.
    🚗 Parking & Access Needs – Especially important for larger productions.

    Permits can take time, depending on the location and requirements. In LA, basic permits take at least two weeks, while specialty permits (for drones, stunts, or smaller municipalities) can take three to four weeks. The sooner we start, the smoother the process—let’s lock in the perfect spot!

  • As a seasoned producer with global experience, I can help find the perfect location—whether it’s in Southern California, across the U.S., or internationally. I’ve worked in San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, Ventura County, San Bernardino, and beyond, as well as on productions worldwide.

    Thanks to today’s digital tools, a lot of pre-production can be handled remotely, but I love a good site visit or production scout to ensure success. If travel is needed, I’m ready to hit the road (or the skies) to make it happen!
