Which hood are you in?

I grew up in Riverdale but currently live in the Junction Triangle with my partner and two cats.

What do you do?

When I’m not working on one of my own projects, I work as a production coordinator in the film & television industry and I just started working in the faculty of art at OCAD University.

What are you currently working on?

My short film Most of the Time We Are Just Waiting is currently in the festival circuit and I am working towards making a feature film set in Cape Breton with a lot of the same team. We are still in the development phase but I’m so excited to take the leap into the world of feature films.

Where can we find your work?

I have a website, and you can find me on Instagram. You can also visit the film’s Instagram.
