Hi! I moved to LA from Kansas in 2007 to work in the industry and love it. I have been in the DGA since 2011 and work as a 2nd AD. When I’m not on set I enjoy writing, traveling, and exploring the city with my Great Dane.

"In the latest stunner by the team behind the Academy Award–winning short Curfew, a married couple’s bubble of suburban normality is punctured when they find a surprise inside their toddler’s teddy bear. What ensues is a tense and crafty thriller that doesn’t let a single moment go to waste."
Member Mylissa Fitzsimmons produced the film Cul-de-Sac, premiering at TIFF, and her short film, “That Party That One Night” is completed and being submitted to festivals. You can read about her approach to directing actors in short films here.
