My family immigrated to Canada from London, England; which I believe is the best decision my parents ever made. I’ve risen through the ranks of the production department from Secretary to Line / Supervising Producer, spending seven years in Los Angeles (see Resume).
I like to think of myself as a production fixer. Sort of like George Clooney in Michael Clayton, without the dead bodies. It’s my mission to deliver every production on time, on or under budget. Since becoming a production manager, I’ve had great success in that goal.
I bring my mindful practices into my work place, and endeavor to create a compassionate, collaborative, safe and respectful, fun working environment. I am truly in debt to many people I’ve had the pleasure to learn from, and to those to whom I’ve become a mentor. The word crew means team… I like that.
