About Me
I’m a writer and filmmaker based in Vancouver, BC. My work explores power, silence, and the inner lives of women — the places where identity, desire, and self-trust quietly collide.
​
I began my career working on film sets in costumes and production, and I’m a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE).
Over the past two decades, I’ve contributed to a wide range of film and television projects, including To All the Boys: Always and Forever (2021).
I hold a Bachelor of Media Arts from Emily Carr University and a Fashion Arts Diploma from Vancouver Community College.
My background across visual art, fashion, and film informs a multidisciplinary practice grounded in storytelling, psychology, and the subtleties of human experience.

Trust Issues - Feature Film in Development
Trust Issues is a feature film I’m currently developing. It expands on the themes that run through my short-form work — power, agency, and how our limited self-concepts can betray us.
​
The project is in development, and I’m open to conversations with collaborators and investors who feel aligned with bringing this story to life.​​​​
