About me

I'm a dual citizen from NYC and am currently seeking a position in casting - freelance, part-time or full-time. I've been working at one of the top casting offices, Grande Morris Casting the past few years. We have cast numerous commercials and voiceovers for huge projects, including commercials for the Super Bowl. I started working in casting a few years ago and loved working on the other side of the table. My work in casting includes prepping, running, and editing casting sessions, including running camera, scheduling appointments, directing talent in sessions, negotiating contracts, developing relationships with industry professionals, and working on projects with agents in a fast-paced environment. I’m also a trained actor and worked professionally in theatre/film/tv and voiceovers for almost a decade. See CV attached for full experience.
