I am a Los Angeles-based film programmer and curator with extensive experience in artist development and event production for organizations and enterprises across the United States, including Sundance, Tribeca Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Film Independent, and Urbanworld. Through my work, I’ve supported filmmakers in over 30 countries, many of whom have premiered films at international festivals such as Berlinale, Cannes, Karlovy Vary, and Locarno. I bring a well-rounded approach to supporting emerging and mid-career creatives in today’s independent film scene, thanks to my knowledge of the North American Film Festival landscape. I am an advocate for filmmakers exploring new and innovative ways to distribute their work.

I’m a hiker, R&B enthusiast, foodie, and Left Coast Knicks fan. You can often find me at Griffith Park, South LA, Zuma Beach, or Merkato in Little Ethiopia. Born and raised in New York City, I travel home often and am available to work there.
