At TVI, it’s my responsibility to contact potential students, meet with them and provide consultations so that they can receive the best training via our available programs. Our guest teachers include Vicki Goggin, James Levine, Ani Avetyan and Tracey Rooney.

I currently assist on a freelance basis at Sanford Casting as well as Danielle Eskinazi Casting. I organize lobby sessions, act as a reader for theatrical auditions, submit breakdowns for upcoming auditions as well as provide administrative duties.

As Head of Digital Media for this 501(c)3 non-profit, I've overseen the production of numerous promotional videos, from interviews to whiteboard animation.

I write, produce, direct, and perform sketch comedy web content. Most recent sketch generated 7K unique views and was featured by the Cheezeburger Network.

I was commissioned along with my superior to source looks that had already been shot for the sake of pick ups (secret pick ups!), as well as find new looks for background performers. The Great Gatsby won an oscar that year for Costume Design.

Managed Art Department budget for this $300K feature length film. Conceptualized design, sourced materials, as well as constructed sets and props on-site. I also coordinated volunteer labor as well as fan-donated items for use in the film.

Interned for Dawn Steinberg, Executive VP of U.S. Talent and Casting, during pilot season. Our most notable project was the development of AMC’s hit series "Breaking Bad". Organized contacts, set appointments, assisted in studio reads, and arranged travel to film festivals as well as actor showcases.

Interfaced directly between actors and Carolyn Pickman, CSA. Arranged auditions, readings and videography of sessions. While working on this film, I was also cast as John Ashton’s daughter and had a scene with Ed Harris.
