Feature Films. Game Shows. Reality Competition.
Film & TV Casting
Since 2011, I have been casting talent for a variety of scripted television, pilot projects, and films. I have experience working with SAG-AFTRA and non-union background actors on both the West and East Coast. The journey of finding hard-to-find talent is not only challenging, but it is also very rewarding when you find someone that matches the director’s vision. I learned about the art of casting in film school, gained practical casting skills volunteering on many short films, and interning at Lisa Fields Casting in Hollywood.

Reality TV Casting
The success of any reality TV or game show heavily relies on its cast of characters. Reality TV demands entertaining, engaging, and larger-than-life personalities. Audiences want to know their backstory and see what they can overcome and accomplish. We want to join them on their hero’s journey. Since 2008, I have been casting for a wide variety of reality television shows covering dating, singing, and dancing. I also have experience casting game shows featuring exciting families and trivia buffs. I have interviewed hundreds of contestants, registered and verified credentials of hopefuls at very large in-person casting calls, and helped with the risk management process by working with background checking companies and health and safety teams.
