Born in Washington DC, I currently work as an Administrative Professional by day and perform Production Design for TV and Film on the side. I have been involved with film and theater as an actress since childhood. Since then, I've booked various roles in the New Jersey and Washington DMV areas in local commercials, background for award winning series, various indie films, and Theater. I enjoy singing, acting, and writing and in the last few years, have decided to focus more on the production side of film. I started as a production assistant helping with everything from making runs to gaffing. I moved into various roles in the Art Department in indie film productions such as make up, FX make up and set design, where I found my niche.
I’ve written short scripts as a teen and as of late became inspired and began writing again. My first official short script turned into a series, titled, "Before the Underground". It’s about the life of Araminta Ross a.k.a before she came to be known by her infamous name, Harriet Tubman. I read a book about her life and was surprised to learn how that not only was she a rebel against tyranny and oppression during her journeys to liberate so many salves, but she also rebelled against this evil as a child. Being an American female, whose ancestors were slaves and Native American, much of the history of people who are from my background is not found due to families being broken apart, records lost or erased, and due to the overall oppression of the darker races. I often wonder and have questions about where my history started. What part of Africa were my ancestors from? How did they survive emancipation? Were they rescued by Harriet Tubman? Were they set free by their owners? Questions that I’m sure I share with a collective that may never know the answers.
A few of my major accomplishments are writing, directing, and producing my very first short film from the Before the Underground series Volume 1 - Rit, with help from some friends in film in the local DMV area. I have also gone on to continue to work in production design starting my own small business, Buddylove Productions TV, and Film LLC. I also continues to write with various scripts on my roster such as the features, "Promise", a supernatural thriller, "Only My Sister", a revenge drama, "Greener", a love story, and the shorts, "That Which May be Known" and "Here's Your Bike", 2 stories based off of true events. I am not only inspired to continue in Production Design, write and direct, but I am so very gracious and grateful for the many opportunities I've received to work with various talented people in the field and look forward for many more opportunities in Set Design, Production Design and Virtual Production Design.
