Hi folks! As I’ve been reflecting on my career, life, and my "why," here’s what I know for sure about myself and the work I do as a Producer. I’m a creative at heart, with a gift for communication and collaboration that helps bring people together toward a common goal. Professionally, I’m driven by the deep belief that film and video are powerful tools for empathy. Though not inherently benevolent, it’s up to us as creators to use these tools for good in the world—and to care just as much about the experience of making the thing as the final product. If you're a production kindred, don't be a stranger. Let's make something meaningful together. Off the clock, you’ll find me cooking, reading, painting, traveling, playing dress-up, exploring museums, attending concerts, dancing, and spending quality time with beloveds, friends, and community. I believe in living a colorful life full of meaningful connections—blending work, life, and play. Let's boogie! ✨ Photo Credit: Anastasia Klimovitz #Producethis #Producer #VideoProducer #CreativeProducer #FreelanceProducer #FemmeinFilm #OpentoWork
A genuine person and a genuine producer. Always enjoy our work together and looking forward to the next collaboration.
Truly a badass babe. Talented, focused, experienced, passionate, and kind. Ten ten.
I worked with Nellie on some fun projects and she was top-notch on all production aspects. And fun to work with, which is high on my list. :)

2moNellie! Miss you! I remember the (very long) days (and nights) on feature film sets, where we were both learning the ins-and-outs of the industry. It's amazing to see you come so far! I'm not surprised by any means, of course. You're hard working and tough. Remember all those frigid night shoots in rough areas of Detroit?! Run down buildings, hearing gunshots a few blocks away, dealing with IMPOSSIBLE directors. Nothing phases you. You just throw on an extra-large winter coat, a knit cap, and get things done! Tough, smart, and talented. Keep crushing it! CHEERS!
