Born and raised in Denver, Colorado. Went to Arizona State University where I studied Business Communications with a double minor in Dance and Theatre.

I realized fairly quickly that I was very interested in seeing the other side of the camera so I started interning with commercial casting director Terry Berland as well as at LA Models talent agency. I then landed the job casting a pilot for Disney under casting director Harriet Greenspan.

Working with Harriet and Disney I knew I wanted to continue working with kids in this business. I searched high and low for my next step and finally landed at DDO Artists Agency as an Agent Assistant.

Eventually I went on to start a kids commercial division and then a kids theatrical division and we’ve since expanded to 2 other agents, 2 assistants, and 2 interns as well as having voice over and print as well in the department. I was promoted to Director of the Youth Division and then Partner of the Youth Division in 2019 at DDO and couldn’t be happier! We truly have the best team and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Our mission at DDO KIDS is to make young actors dreams come true, and change the stereotype of what an agent is. We believe that you can be extremely successful as well as kind and approachable! We pride ourselves on having close relationships with our clients and amazing relationships with casting.

I am very passionate about young actors and also giving back to the community. I am a certified CASA and will continue to advocate for youth in foster care system.

DDO KIDS as a department also started a giving back initiative where we donate a portion of our commission from every booking to a charity of the client’s choice!
