“I’ve always had a passion for filmmaking,” she said. “As a child I was always making little shorts with my friends and writing stories to act out. I remember visiting film sets as a kid and always being incredibly intrigued by the alternate reality that I was stepping in to.”

She continued, “Making movies and watching movies was always very therapeutic for me. I liked being sucked into a story, falling in love with the different characters and ultimately learning something about my own desires and myself.

"I feel very fortunate that I knew from an early age that I wanted to work in the film business.”

She said, “I was always raised with perspective and my mom always kept me in check and made sure that I never felt entitled or that I deserved anything because of something that my father did.”
