229 Thornrose Ave, Staunton, VA 24401

As a filmmaker, writer, fashion designer, astrologist and anthropologist, I have a passion for telling stories. I use my creations to not only give back to my community but to learn, and in turn educate others and uplift voices and stories that are otherwise glossed over. I love fantasy and sci fi cinema, but I am also a sucker for colorful character drama. 


I recently moved to DC from Minneapolis and am hoping to get to know and experience all-things production here! I've worked as the Production Coordinator for an ad agency but am looking to branch out into film, theater, and advocacy work. I'm eager to meet other women in the industry and learn a thing or two.

One of those, about a field of flags for USA COVID-19 deaths, went viral when we released it the day before Election Day 2020.
