I have worked in the UK for more than three years, my experience ranges from assisting in the production of short films and promotional videos to TV programs and full length feature films. I have worked with some of the most prominent producers, directors, actors and assistant directors during my stay in London. I am an experienced set PA, with an understanding of a plethora of departments and roles. I strive to go above and beyond at every available opportunity, I am experienced in: distributing call sheets and managing paperwork, arranging meetings, crowd/background control, wrangling talent, helping move equipment, facilitating communication between departments, distributing radios and organising travel and accommodation to name just a small amount. I’ve spent more 14 hour days in the freezing cold being harassed by wind, rain, and members of the public than I care to count and yet I’m still incredibly passionate for and dedicated to the film industry.

The services that I can offer are: excellent communication skills, determination, perseverance, organisational skills, administrative skills and IT skills.

I have five years of production experience in my hometown of New York City, on projects ranging from promotional videos to feature film. I started on the History Channel series “”The Men Who Built America,”” to help with wrap. After this, I joined a boutique production company as a producer’s assistant. I procured crew, locations, permits, and services such as production insurance from external vendors. During production, I was in charge of work permits, petty cash, catering, transportation and other rentals, and acted as 2nd AD. In between, I enjoyed performing similar duties on many short films while attending NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where I graduated with a BFA in Film and Television Production. I recently relocated to Abu Dhabi and had the opportunity to work for the 2017 Dubai International Film Festival. The role was fast-paced and required constant problem-solving. Most importantly, it gave me an idea of the industry in the region, which I look forward to expanding on set.
