About

I'm an experienced Artist Manager + VFX Production Coordinator with a strong background in artist and production, I thrive in creating an environment where creative teams can do their best work. I have experience supporting and managing artists across multiple departments, ensuring they have the resources, guidance, and feedback needed to grow and succeed. My expertise spans team leadership, scheduling, and resource planning, along with a keen ability to identify talent and foster a positive, collaborative culture. I’ve worked closely with HoDs, supervisors, and production teams to balance project needs with individual career development while maintaining efficiency across departments. From coordinating complex production workflows to problem-solving team challenges, I’m passionate about building strong, well-supported teams. Whether it’s mentoring artists, streamlining operations, or driving strategic initiatives, I aim to create an inclusive and empowering work environment that brings out the best in people. I’m always looking for ways to improve processes, support my teams, and contribute to the bigger picture. Let’s connect! 🌐 Professional Journey: • BarnstormVFX (present): Artist Manager/Resource Manager for the CG departments • BeloFX (~6 Months): Returned to Production Coordination, I worked on 2 projects: a Feature length film and an Episodic, using Unreal, for a wide range in team size and varying scopes of complexity. • ReDefine (~2 Years): As an Artist Manager, I collaborated closely with Heads of Departments, Operations, Recruitment and HR teams across North America to support the artists across various departments, fostering a supportive environment and contributing to global initiatives aimed at enhancing artist experiences and benefiting ReDefine. • DNEG (2.5 Years): I transitioned to ReDefine from DNEG, where I served as a VFX Production Coordinator. My role involved seamless coordination with departments such as Layout, Animation, Creature, Env/Gen, FX, Lighting, and Comp. • MPC (3 Years): At MPC, I began my career in VFX as a Runner. I honed my coordination skills in the Layout department, progressing from a VFX Department Assistant to a VFX Production Coordinator. My responsibilities spanned collaboration with Matchmove, Rotoanim, and the Compositing departments. 📚 Education: • Studied Interdisciplinary Arts with a focus on Visual Arts, Art History, and Media/Film Studies from Concordia University and Dawson College.
