I’m a veteran producer with over 7 years of experience in digital production and building fandoms on YouTube and beyond.
I’m currently the Lead Creative Producer on Netflix’s Animation Series Marketing team, finding new ways to interact with our audience, and sharing our shows with the wider world.
Outside of work, you can catch me watching anime, reading manga, gaming online, or making noise on a drum set.
