I believe the most powerful stories are born when creators feel supported and empowered to explore their creative edges.

​

As an Intimacy Coordinator and creative facilitator, my work focuses on building brave, resilient spaces where artistry and human dignity thrive together. My path to this career began in the spring of 2025. Following a meaningful 20-year professional chapter where I honed my skills in public speaking, critical analysis, team building, and project management, I chose to pivot. I wanted to dedicate my energy to a calling rooted deeply in communication, relationship, and collaboration. Guided by a lifelong love for storytelling and a profound value for individual autonomy, I stepped into the professional intimacy space.

​

For me, this work is an act of humble, continuous learning. I am not a compliance officer or the "safety police"—my role is to expand what is possible for a production by establishing a foundation of trust through boundaries and consent. My process begins long before cameras roll. I immerse myself in the script to understand the narrative context of the intimacy, followed by collaborative sessions with the director to clarify their artistic vision. From there, I work closely with performers to share best practices and tools for simulating intimacy, establishing clear boundaries and facilitating the essential process of "derolling" so actors can safely leave the character behind at the end of the day.

​

Based in Austin, Texas, I am available for local and statewide film, television, and gaming productions, while remaining open to destination travel and remote consultations worldwide for aligned projects. To support this work, I have built a multi-disciplinary toolkit that bridges physical and mental safety, collaborative communication, conflict resolution, emotional resilience, and joyful play:

​

• Intimacy Training: Completion of the Intimacy Directors and Coordinators (IDC) Intimacy Professional Accelerator program, alongside continued specialized professional development through Theatrical Intimacy Education (TIE) and the Consent Academy.
   

• Creative Play & Performance: Active training and performance as an improvisational actor through Austin’s Hideout Theatre, alongside years of crafting collaborative narratives as a tabletop RPG Game Master. Improv sharpens my innate creative adaptability and insight into the relationships between characters, and empathy for the vulnerability actors face on stage and screen.
   

• Safety & Resolution: Formal certifications in Mediation, Mental Health First Aid, First Aid/CPR, and DEIBA awareness, alongside practice as a certified Laughter Yoga Leader.
   

Beyond the screen, my ultimate creative goal is to collaborate with narrative game developers to design complex choice trees that explore diverse relationship dynamics and intimacy—through the lens of authentic relating and somatic consent.

​

Whether you are a director seeking an Intimacy Coordinator or Production Assistant to elevate your production, or a game studio looking for a creative Consent Consultant to deepen a game's narrative, I bring the insight, education, and presence needed to support your vision.
