What is your role with the podcast team, how long have you been involved, and how did you get started?
A couple of years back when I joined NYWIFT I wanted to be a part of the communications committee to be a helping hand in any way that I can. After joining, I learned more about the podcast and wanted to get involved, and the rest is history. Best decision ever! I am one of the co-hosts and a proud member of the New York Women in Film & Television Women Crush Wednesdays Podcast Team.

What do you enjoy most about the podcast and how has this journey been for you?
I love and enjoy helping to lock in interviews, I love and enjoy interviewing guests, I love and enjoy the brainstorming process, and I love and enjoy the presence and working with each and every one on the team.
This journey has been so fun and I am excited for each show. Being on the podcast team has elevated my media career in so many ways and provided me with so many opportunities that I am so grateful for.

What would you like to see more of this year?
I would love to see even more people become aware of our podcast, which I am confident about because the buzz is growing right now. I would like to also see more behind-the-scenes guests make appearances on the podcast in addition to the big names that come on such as set designers, grips, production assistants, script supervisors, background actors, and more.
