About

I believe people, families, and companies thrive when there is a dedicated focus on organization, empathy, and integrity. After receiving a formal education in film production, I discovered that the skills I developed to organize and run creative projects were also beneficial in many other walks of life. I have an untraditional career path going through quite a few industries but always remaining motivated by those three core values of organization, empathy, and integrity— perfectly setting me up to be a skillful and competent project manager. In the ten years since I began working, I have helped to manage many successful projects. Some of the accomplishments that I am most proud of are: Producing multiple films nominated for Student Emmys, Producing visual content used in the marketing plan for a local sustainability law, Aiding in the successful transition of a restaurant to new ownership, Successfully managing multiple teams working on the same project, frequently scheduling, budgeting, and considering groups of 20+ people at once. Currently, I am the Creative Project Manager at Push Collaborative: an animation studio based in New York. I am in charge of coordinating and driving projects through all stages: from the very first inquiry client communication up until after the project is wrapped. I am available on a contract basis to bring my interpersonal skills and creative touch as a project manager to an organization committed to improving the quality of life amongst its consumer and its community. I am passionate about using media and technology to come up with creative solutions for everyday issues. I value honesty and work ethic just as much as I value humor and personal wellness. I love learning about people and I strive to learn something new from every encounter and experience that I have. I am hoping to someday bring my diverse skills and experiences to the world of #FemTech and #SexTech. Always open to chatting and would love to expand my network!
