What I'm looking for

I’m looking to produce meaningful content with collaborative creative teams, managing projects from development through post-production while delivering quality work on time and within budget.

At First Pencil, I’ve co-owned and executive produced productions since 2016, overseeing budgets, contracts, quoting, music rights, insurance, artist fees, and delivery to stations.

I previously managed commercial and documentary production at The Bomb Shelter and worked as a Production Manager and Line Producer at Ola Films. Across 17+ years, I’ve run schedules, casting, crews, locations, equipment, shoots, post-production, and quality control from concept to completion.
