I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies with a minor in Mass Communication from St. Cloud State University, where I was also in the honors program. After graduating a semester early, I earned a graduate certificate in Writing for Television from UCLA’s Professional Program, an online graduate-level screenwriting program through the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. Afterward, I worked in various entertainment roles, including stagehand work, production assistant roles on commercials and indie films, copywriting, and as a commissioned writer for a chat fiction platform.

I also volunteered at the Twin Cities Film Festival and taught middle school students how to create short films while substitute teaching at schools across Central Minnesota. In 2022, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Producing at DePaul University’s LA program. There, I had the opportunity to learn from industry professionals, including the line producer of Breaking Bad and the independent producer of American Psycho.

Over the last three years, I’ve accumulated extensive teaching experience, including substitute teaching K-8 at LAUSD and tutoring elementary students in ELA and mathematics, both in the classroom and through after-school programs. I have two years of tutoring experience, complementing my teaching background.

With a background as a middle school resident substitute in Minnesota and a licensed K-8 substitute for LAUSD, I have gained valuable experience in diverse classroom environments. My role as a part-time tutor in elementary math and English has allowed me to develop targeted strategies to support students’ learning needs. These experiences have deepened my understanding of educational practices and the importance of individualized instruction. I am committed to fostering a positive and engaging learning atmosphere where all students can thrive.

I hold an MFA in Creative Producing, during which I optioned a script for my thesis and created a detailed 75-page producing deck. Additionally, I have a graduate certificate in writing for television and have written six pilots, two feature films, and a speculative episode of Mayans MC. I've also written three episodes of a chat fiction series for a CW-affiliated app, and gained hands-on experience in grip work on various commercials. This diverse background has allowed me to hone my storytelling skills and deepen my understanding of the production process.

I hold an MFA in Creative Producing and an undergraduate degree in Film, where I developed strong producing skills alongside my focus on advanced editing and video production classes. Through my education, I gained extensive knowledge in video production and honed my editing skills across various projects. I've also worked as a grip and production assistant on two independent features and numerous commercials, providing me with hands-on experience in different aspects of production. This background has equipped me with a solid understanding of the production process and a strong foundation in both storytelling and technical skills.
