A Bit About Me

I am currently a Senior at Ithaca College majoring in Cinema and Photography, with a minor in Writing for Film, Television, and Emerging Media. I am eager to bring my passion for film and TV to the entertainment industry. With hands-on experience at 20th Television and leadership roles in various campus organizations, I am confident in my ability to thrive in Hollywood's fast-paced and dynamic environment.

​

I grew up dancing competitively, so my childhood was defined by slick buns, sparkly costumes, and the constant fear of making mistakes. Through dance, I made lifelong friendships and even found the inspiration for some of the villains in my scripts. While these experiences weren't always easy, they shaped me into who I am today, and I’ve learned to embrace that.

​

From a young age, I developed a strong resilience and discipline, and a constant drive to improve. In college, my passion for dance shifted to a love for education and entertainment. My dance career sparked a sense of joy and passion for creativity at a young age and continued to push me to step outside my comfort zone throughout the years. Today, I dance for myself and I create for others. Watching TV and films when I felt the most alone, allowed me to find solace in my favorite characters. I want to bring those same feelings of connection that helped me as a child to others around the world through. â€‹

Working in the Presidents office at 20th Television under Karey Burke was an exceptional way to learn about the industry.

I was able to develop connections through coffee conversations, while learning about the different departments and positions within the studio. I was also able to go onto the 911: Lone Star set and learn hands on about the different phases that a TV show goes through.
