As first assistant director for this summer’s films, she brings a wealth of experience and passion to her role. "I have learned more about the industry standard—script-writing, proper foundation, scheduling, and working as a team," she shared. "In the future, I want to direct films and write. I hope to travel, but I also want to come back here."
