About

I am a director of photography based in LA and a USC Film and TV Production MFA graduate. I shoot and light music videos, shorts, features, documentaries, photoshoots, and live events. 

 

Whatever you need, I'm your camera(wo)man.

In 2018, I directed a short film that screened at the Cannes Film Festival. I interned for Sony at the 2018 NAB show in Las Vegas. In 2019, I shadowed the Fuller House cinematographer Gregg Heschong on the Warner Brothers lot. I also worked for Snapchat’s Original Content team doing a range of things, from script meetings and camera operating their in-house shows to assistant editing. Additionally, I received the Sun Cinematography Award, a prestigious honor backed by the ASC to recognize rising female cinematographers.

 

Before graduate school, I earned my B.A in Film & Media Studies at USC and competed for four years on the USC Women’s Rowing Team. 

WOW, what a year ✨ So blessed and gratef
