Hello!

I’m a Cannes Lions Bronze award-winning commercial director and 3-Time Tribeca Film Festival film director with 9-Telly Award wins and a Webby Award nomination. I participated in the highly selective Disney TV Directing Program and directed my episodic multi-cam drama debut for ABC.

My specialties include directing celebrities, influencers, athletes, kids of all ages, animals, products and interviewing non-actors which span across narrative and improv comedy, drama and documentary. My client roster includes Disney, ABC, Hulu, A+E, Amazon, Netflix, Google, Lifetime, Audible with talents Mark Ruffalo, Priyanka Chopra, Laverne Cox, Hasan Minhaj, Busy Philipps, Aidy Bryant, Bobby Moynihan and more.

My colorful visual style and comedic writing has been greatly influenced by the imagination and Americana of my childhood, having traveled to nearly 40 states in my family’s motorhome in my early years. Off set, I grow a vegetable and sunflower garden and cook plant-based meals with the bounty. I’ve studied improv comedy at Upright Citizens Brigade and acted in my films.

I’m a proud alumni of Pratt Institute, graduating with High Honors for a BFA in Film & Video and receiving the Outstanding Achievement Award in Media Arts/Film by the faculty. Each year, the faculty invites me as a guest speaker to inform students about the current film industry.

After graduation, I hit the ground running by founding my production company Gingersnap; my earliest clients included Grey Advertising and Pantene Pro-V. I furthered my education through NYU Stern School of Business Entertainment Media Executive mini-MBA program.

I’m a hands-on director, collaborating with agencies and clients through the creative process with writing, producing, and editing.
