"Casting is 65 percent of directing". ~John Frankenheimer
About
Based in Los Angeles, I specialize in casting all over the world, for acclaimed directors, including: Peter Weir, Adam McKay, Robert Zemeckis, Alan Parker, Sam Mendes, and more.
​
I've cast in: Bulgaria, India, Buenos Aires, Baja, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Puerto Rico, and the United States. I love my well-stamped passport!
​
Born in the US, I spent my childhood in Japan. My love of people, cultures, and language combined with my passion for film, makes my career as a Casting Director part of my DNA.
​
Among my teachers, I'm grateful for: The Dalai Lama, Father Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, and... everyone I have ever worked with. People are fascinating. Each with a unique story.
