Animation Production Management

I’m a Los Angeles-based First Nations producer who is drawn to projects that hold a mirror to it's audience with humor, emotion, and deep, deep affection.

What's in the DNA of a project, and how do you maintain, nurture, and realize it until it's seen by the audience? I fell in love with producing as a kid, volunteering my time to stage manage local musicals and getting on any film set I could find in Seattle. Through collaborating with my community, I found a love for production.

Logistics are my bread and butter. I love making schedules. budgets, lists, and applying communicative skills to help teams of artists achieve their vision.
