13 years, I started shooting music festivals because my friends were musicians, went on tour a few times, then transitioned into TV then Movies.

My biggest inspiration is my mentor, Sean Savage. He filmed every single episode of Game of Thrones as A cam operator. The biggest streamed show in history, one that changed the world of TV forever.

If you had one piece of advice for a woman who wants to get started in the film industry what it would be?

My advice for women in film is don't give up. This is a vastly male dominated industry and they will always think we are not capable of doing what needs to be done and its not our problem as women to prove ourselves every time. Just work, and if they want to make their days harder by not believing in you then let them.
