About Me
I am a dedicated film professional and writer with a profound passion for arts, entertainment, and storytelling. I have tried on many different hats in my life from actress and dance choreographer to critic, film festival programmer, and educator, but all of these roles have helped me develop communication, creativity, teamwork, organization, and problem-solving skills.
​
​In my current position as a Programming Assistant at the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, I will support the submissions and voting process and the coordination of the 2025 Canadian Screen Awards. Previously in my role at the Toronto International Film Festival, I employed my strong research and writing skills and vast knowledge of film style and the entertainment industry to support the ‘In Conversation with...’ series featuring top talent like Cate Blanchett and Steven Soderbergh. Other recent roles include Contributing Writer at The Film Magazine, Features Programming Committee Member at the Grand River Film Festival, and Researcher at the Film Music Foundation.​
​
I hold a Master of Arts in Cinema Studies from the University of Toronto and an Honours Bachelor of Arts from Wilfrid Laurier University, where I graduated top of my class and was awarded the Alumni Gold Medal. As a Teaching Assistant at both institutions, I was able to share my passion for film with students and to nurture that same passion in them.​
