About Me​

​

​

When I was 8, I begged my mom for months to get me an agent. She finally gave in, and my first audition was for 21 Grams, a Sean Penn movie. I didn’t get the part and was completely crushed. I told her I was done with acting. But after all my begging, she wasn’t about to let me quit after one try.

 

She said, “Go on one more audition. If you don’t get it and still want to quit, fine.”

 

That next audition was for Tim Burton’s Big Fish. I booked the role of Jenny, the younger version of Helena Bonham Carter. It was such a surreal experience, and being on set felt like something I was meant to do. After that, I spent my childhood working on a mix of indie films and bigger productions. A few years later, I got to play Rosanne Cash in Walk the Line alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon.

 

Those experiences — and all the indie projects in between — made me fall in love with storytelling and the creative process. 

​

After graduating from the University of Tennessee (Go Vols!) with a degree in public relations, I realized I wanted to stay in production but step behind the camera. I’ve since built an exciting career producing projects for powerhouse brands like Coca-Cola and McDonald’s, collaborating with incredible teams, and turning creative ideas into reality.

​

I thrive on the challenges of production — solving problems, managing budgets, organizing logistics, and ensuring every detail comes together seamlessly. For me, it’s all about collaboration and creating work that resonates. I love building partnerships and working with talented teams to bring big ideas to life.

​

When I’m not on set, you can find me hanging out with my 15-year-old long-haired chihuahua, Mena, planning my next trip, working through life in therapy, or hunting down the best food spots in town (I’m always on the lookout for my next favorite meal).

Let’s make something great together.
