Description
I’m a collaborative Line Producer and Executive in Charge who thrives on bringing big, bold ideas to life, without losing sight of the budget. With decades of experience leading many large productions sometimes, simultaneously, I know how to pivot fast, solve problems on the fly, and keep things moving, even when plans change. I’m well-versed in the NJ tax credit incentive and experienced in maximizing value for every dollar spent. Whether it’s a gritty feature film, a fast-turnaround commercial, or a heartfelt docuseries or documentary, I build trusted teams, keep clients in the loop, and make sure every story hits the screen with impact and integrity.
