Director's Statement

I truly love directing! Storytelling is my passion and collaborating with producers, writers, actors and the whole crew to bring a story to life is a privilege, an honour and my joy. 


Coming from the world of Assistant Directing, I bring a highly organized approach to every project. I'm a strong communicator and have learned countless ways over the years to help productions run efficiently--saving time and money while maintaining creative focus. What excites me most is working intimately with the team to infuse emotion, beauty and intrigue into every line of dialogue, every shot and every scene.

We have the best job in the world...Let's enjoy the process and tell an AMAZING story!
