“He knew that there was no quick comfort for emotions like those. They were deeper and they did not need to be told. They were felt.”
― Lois Lowry, The Giver
Leonard Bernstein called music cosmos in chaos. True art, I believe, is like this— calling us to be more fully human, in all its dust and beauty. It is deeply honest stories that bring us to this level that I am passionate about bringing to life.
Originally from the small southeast Connecticut beach town of Niantic, I studied film, history and creative writing at Brandeis University just outside of Boston. After graduating in 2015, I worked various jobs and internships between Boston and New York City where I had the privilege of reading and reviewing scripts, writing copy for pitch decks and marketing materials, working on set as a Production Assistant (PA), and filming and editing freelance wedding videography, amongst other office administration jobs and duties. While at 4th Row Films in New York City, I worked closely with director Doug Tirola to research and develop script outlines for the documentary films Bloodroot (2019) and Bernstein's Wall (Tribeca, 2021).
In 2019 I moved with my husband to Los Angeles and worked for a little over three years (through the Pandemic!) as a PA, Executive Assistant, and eventually Original Programming Coordinator at Herzog & Co., a non-fiction production company based in North Hollywood, CA. I supported the company CEO, SVP, and Original Programming Development team with gathering research and archival footage for project pitch materials, in addition to handling all day-to-day scheduling and administrative needs. I created and maintain tracking grids for multiple ongoing projects, including Marvel's MPower (Disney+, 2023) and the Emmy-nominated series Watergate: Blueprint for a Scandal (CNN Films, 2022). I loved getting to bring together my strong organization skills with my passion for social change through art, while working closely with a dynamic, creative team.
Currently, as producer for Pastor Dave Ripper’s podcast, Deeper Experiences with God at Ringmaster Podcasts, I help bring on experts in the areas of spiritual formation, ensuring all things run smoothly on the technical recording side, and also handle post-production editing, promo clips, graphics and shownotes. It’s been a true joy, professionally and spiritually. I am continually learning what it means to be truly human in this beautiful cosmos in chaos we call life.
