I am a globally-eligible Production Assistant with professional television credits and an eight-year background spanning film, stage, and literary development. With dual U.S. and U.K. citizenship and the right to work in The Bahamas, I offer a high degree of mobility and a "local hire" advantage in major production hubs like New York City and The Bahamas.
I have supported high-stakes sets, including season 5 of the award-winning international series, Goombay Kids (Winner at the Cannes World Film Festival), and Season 4 of the Bounce TV series Johnson. My approach to production is deeply informed by my training at Syracuse University, with a BFA in Acting (graduating in May) and a minor in Psychology, as well as my academic background in Criminology and Forensics.
This unique combination allows me to anticipate the logistical and emotional needs of talent, the director, and the AD department alike, maintaining a calm, discreet, and highly organized presence during 12+ hour shoot days. Whether I am coordinating on-set logistics, assisting with creative staging as an Assistant Stage Director, or conducting deep-dive dramaturgical research, I thrive as a proactive problem solver who respects the hierarchy and protocol of a professional set.
