I just love directing! Telling stories is my passion and collaborating with producers, writers, actors and the whole crew to bring stories to life is truly an honour.
Being on set for me, is the place where I'm most comfortable and where I'm truly happy. Coming from the world of Assistant Directing, I am extremely organized, a good communicator and have learned many tricks over the years to save time and money. I work intimately with cast and crew alike to inject emotion, beauty and intrigue into every line of dialogue, every shot and every scene. I think that people who've worked with me would say that my best attribute is joy. We have the best job in the world, let's just have fun and tell an AMAZING story!
