She worked hard to demonstrate her skills as a talented young professional. Her hard work was rewarded when she graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Television.
When she graduated NYU Film School, she got a job at Miramax working in delivery administration/business affairs. She was lucky to have a great boss and mentor, Whitney Wilson, who showed her the ropes. From there she was eager to learn and meet whoever she could.

After this came sales, then more acquisitions, finally leading to a production job at Content Film.
