I am a recent graduate of the Concordia University Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, specializing in Film Production. I have completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts (with Distinction), and during my time at university and afterwards, I have successfully assumed leadership roles in many film production projects in the Montreal film industry. As well as having my films featured in festivals around the world, I also display my video and installation art in galleries and shows around Montreal. I am bilingual (French/English), and desire to apply my energy in a creative role that will further develop my design/art direction skills.
