Autistic Cat Alien in a Human Suit. Making films, writing scripts and animating gifs in the genre of Sci-Fi Pantheism. I also make biofeedback installations and doodle comics about the trauma of existing. I thrive with my feet in multiple doors: the entertainment industry and the art world. My soul skillfully channels "unique" ideas between these worlds.

(CalArts, 2021) In grad school I often heard that my mind is "fascinating" or "unique", but a Rhizomatic Screenwriting class helped me to believe it. I learned screenwriting and how my brain works: rhizomatically. I graduated with a dual MFA in Experimental Animation and Film/Video. I'm the only person in the history of the school to do both programs.

I hail from Asheville, NC, a town of weirdo artist misfits. I have a fetish for 16mm and shot my first film on a Bolex. I produced ads for national TV in NYC. Then fled for LA to coordinate at Women in Animation while getting my MFA.
