Resourceful, empathetic, and curious.
I help producers and directors move through a strategic, intuitive casting process to create an ensemble of actors that feels fresh and emotionally honest - a compelling cast to match the overall vision and specific needs of each project.
My approach is based on a genuine respect for actors and appreciation of what they need to do their best work. I enjoy creative conversations, digging deep to uncover exciting new talent and coming up with innovative ways to solve complex casting challenges.
I’ve always been driven by a desire to think, explore and feel deeply, seeking to understand the complexities and imperfections of being human. I love that casting allows me to workshop this every day in a practical and collaborative way.
