Testing Manager for reshoots; Coordinated tests for travel, secured and managed a team of medics, and worked closely with the AD's and PO to ensure all cast/crew and visitors were properly tested. Orchestrated multiple tests for distant hires, including remote locations abroad.

Started as assistant to our HSM and took over HSM responsibilities upon my predecessor's departure in June 2021. I managed a team of medics and PAs to coordinate testing for cast/crew across over 65 different locations -- this included three forms of rapid testing, regular PCRs, and concierge testing for up to 1500 individuals daily. I assisted our external contact tracing team, coordinated with lab contacts, and communicated with department heads to ensure proper cadence was followed spanning 6 different "zones".

Started as Covid PA; quickly took over responsibilities of CCO/Testing Coordinator upon predecessor's departure; Created a system to effectively track wellness reports and testing for all cast and crew.

I was a styling assistant under photographer Anne Geddes. I was responsible for helping select and style the fabrics being used for the photography session. Additionally, I oversaw wardrobe and assisted with miscellaneous tasks on set.

Conceptualized the set of a Chinese-American grandmother's NYC apartment. Sourced accurate artwork, food, and decorations to transform a nearly empty space into a cluttered, homey location.

I was responsible for sourcing and styling the wardrobe for several commercial shoots.

I designed the set as well as several props for this off-Broadway production. The show explored the inner-workings of a psychiatric unit, following the protagonists through her physical and emotional reality. I worked closely with the director to execute a minimalist and sterile set that I then emphasized through stark, industrial lighting.

For this experimental 16mm film, I was tasked with transforming two locations -- an art deco bathroom and oak paneled bar -- to represent the protagonists imagination. I sourced and/or created set dressing, props, and carefully styled food/drink.
