Featured Crew Credits
“We’re Closed” (2026) written and directed by Jane Flad
Role: Executive Producer
Watch it here
Set in an 80s-themed diner, a closing shift for four waitresses takes a disturbing turn.
“We’re Closed” was my executive producer debut. It was the final big project I helped make during my time at Emerson College, so I hold it very dear to my heart. I’ve always been fascinated by horror films, so finally having the chance to be one of the leaders in making one was incredible.
Role(s): Makeup Artist/On-Set Advocate
Coming Soon!
A man and a woman make their way through a mind-twisting world where fantasy and reality become one.
“Down by the Harbor” written and directed by Katie Pak
This was a super interesting one! I am highly skilled in makeup artistry, and when my good friend Katie Pak invited me onto her set to do makeup for a black-and-white movie, I was excited for the challenge. For all the black-and-white sections of the film, I had to study how older films used greens and blues to create depth in makeup, rather than the modern neutrals and pinks used in color films. It was such a cool experience, and I learned so much about different makeup techniques.
“Glory and Gore” (2024) written and directed by Gianna Cavarozzi and Lyanna Zammas
Role(s): Sound Team/Intimacy Coordinator
Watch it here
A notorious ex-president of an elite university's Symposium club returns to seemingly reclaim his spot in a game of power with the old friend who replaced him.
“Glory and Gore” was an insanely cool project to work on, especially after it gained traction in the media. The “Glory and Gore” social media made a post, and the entire project blew up unexpectedly. Thanks to the love and support of the fanbase, our cast and crew grew, and the team was able to make a project bigger than we ever could have imagined. Being able to sound operate and intimacy coordinate on a set of this stature is an opportunity I’m incredibly grateful for, as I was able to flex my muscles and put in the work needed to help the set run smoothly.
Featured Acting Credits
“Tomboys” (2025) written and directed by Jenna Reilly
Role: Sage
Watch it here
In a tolerant college environment, a queer friend group navigates a world unguided: how to be gay and happy.
“Tomboys” was my first queer film and project that got me back into acting after doing theatre all throughout high school. Queer-centered film takes up a large chunk of the media I consume as an openly queer woman, so this project is extra special to me. It was such an honor to be a part of a queer film by queer people, and the perfect transition for me from behind to in front of the camera.
“Body Count” written and directed by Gianna Cavarozzi and Nucci Delaney
Role: Jesse
Coming Soon!
A group of church camp counselors’ end-of-session retreat is crashed by a serial killer whom they can’t seem to get rid of.
As I’ve said, I love the slasher horror genre, and “Body Count” was my opportunity to finally perform in one. The film was shot in just three days with little to no budget. We just had a camcorder and a dream. Every cast and crew member put in a ton of effort to make our directors’ vision come to fruition. It’s campy, it’s vulgar, and it’s a ton of fun.
