Groundbreaking
This is the ground floor of a new crew position. The entertainment community has spoken out, and I am responding to a demand in the industry for change. Affirmative consent is a critical component of a safe workplace environment for actors performing hyper-exposed work.

My experience gives me a passion for protecting artists at work. My background and training gives me the creative skills to construct options to present to the director or to work with the director to achieve their vision with consenting talent.
