1ST ASSISTANt DIRECTOR WORK
PHILOSOPHY
I WORK FOR THE CREW.
As a first assistant director, I value the time and labor of the crew: this core value is what motivates my work on set as well as in pre-production.
By building a trusting relationship with the crew, I am able to push the crew in a consensual and ambitious capacity to create a work environment that is efficient, sustainable, and safe.

”As a director, when I have the chance, I will go with J as the AD again. She is someone that will always perform at her best and that is kind of energy needed if you want your project to work. She is very structured, organized and confident, which led to a success during the shooting of my previous film, and that’s on her!”
- Angel Quel, Director of Para Lo Que Me Queda En El Convento
”J is an excellent assistant director because she can keep the set on track. She makes sure to understand the needs of each crew member and respects their times, while simultaneously dictating times and solving problems. J makes sure that everyone goes home at the scheduled time and that the director has the space to do their best work.”
- Sara Russo, Line Producer of Du Bist So Wunderbar
”10/10, Five Stars. I trust J with my life and definitely as a 1st AD. I had the wonderful opportunity to be her 2nd AD on a production. I found it extremely easy to work with a person so clear and communicative. Never was there a doubt in my mind about the production with her as the Assistant Director.”
- Michelle Ragay, 2nd AD on Encore
