Bio

With a Master of Arts degree in drama from the University of California at Santa Barbara and 15 years directing theatre in New York, Los Angeles, Prague, and Vancouver, I began my intimacy coordination training in 2019.

I’ve trained extensively with groups including Principal Intimacy Professionals—where I was part of the first cohort to be certified—and Theatrical Intimacy Education, where I now serve as assistant faculty.

My work off-set bolsters my work on-set.

For eight years, I was a proofreader at New York corporate law firms. Working directly with attorneys to finalize legal documents gave me a grasp of contract language and privacy law that I now apply to assisting production and legal teams with nudity riders.

I’ve also worked in Health & Safety on 30+ film/TV projects, handling HIPPA-protected data and other confidential information, and ensuring the privacy and wellbeing of cast and crew alike.
