About Me
I’ve been working on sets in a variety of positions across a variety of projects and genres my entire working life. As a result, I am fluent in the language of filmmaking, as well as deeply familiar with how a film set works, moves, and flows from a micro to a macro level.
The role I was always meant to play on set, though, is that of Intimacy Coordinator. I bring a calm demeanor and an air of harmony to all of my projects, and am lit up by the process of creative collaboration with directors and performers alike to tell the most compelling version of the story at hand. When I’m on set, I make performers’ and producers’/directors’ jobs easier.
As the visibility and representation of the LGBTQIA+ community continue to grow in the stories that are being produced, my deepest passion lies in bringing my work to queer stories not only to insure their authenticity, but to also insure the comfortability and ease of queer performers.
