CASTING DIRECTOR BIO
Working with Elizabeth Barnes since 2015, I have been involved with such projects as the Emmy nominated Netflix series GLOW, What/If, Siren and Blood & Treasure. Our work on GLOW also earned us 2019 & 2020 Artios Awards nominations alongside fellow casting director Jen Euston.
I recently partnered with Liz as co-casting director on the Quibi short form series, Don’t Look Deeper directed by Catherine Hardwicke, and the Freeform Pilot, Close Up, executive produced by Pete Nowalk.
I was first drawn to casting while still pursuing a career as an actor. Once given the opportunity to work on this side of the room—I was hooked. I love what I do, I love actors and I am always looking for opportunities to work with and support other creatives in the film industry.
