About

Seeking a full-time or contract role in entertainment production 🎮 Most of my professional experience comes from working in finding and sourcing talent, coordinating schedules and calendaring. I have on-set experience as a production assistant with student films, short films, and magazine photo shoots. I love planning, organizing, financial budgeting, juggling tasks, wearing many hats at once, and I excel at anticipating needs and solving problems before they happen. Some fun facts about me: 🏔 I love to travel and explore! You can usually find me rock climbing, hiking, paddleboarding, camping, or planning a trip abroad! 🎮 I have a Twitch channel where I livestream video games to a live audience! Some of my favorite games are Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, Overwatch, and Stardew Valley.
