ORIGIN STORY
Storytelling has the power
to connect people, inspire change & spark joy.
Storytelling is central to what I do. I have immersed myself in powerful stories for well over two decades: LGBTQ+ employees erased from the federal workforce. Black cowboys. U.S. political corruption. A Holocaust survivor. Teens who find hope & freedom through dance. My work as a producer has been recognized with awards and an Emmy nomination.
For the last ten years, I’ve worked as an impact producer and strategist – using my storytelling & producing skills to help films find their path, people & pupose. I thoroughly enjoy juggling and making sense of all the layers unique to each film’s distribution journey.
I launched Filmpath in 2020 – during the height of the pandemic – to address an exploding need for creative approaches to reach and engage audiences. I’ve helped films reach millions of viewers, spur legislative action, and engage communities across the country.

Her wisdom and professionalism shine through every project she touches.”
