7. TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF PA'S?
YES! You heard right! :) Two types of PAs? That’s right! You probably know what a Production Assistant does, but there’s also a Producer’s Assistant . So, what’s the difference? A Production Assistant (PA) is a versatile crew member who supports multiple departments—on set, in the office, or on location—handling a wide variety of tasks to keep the production running smoothly. A Producer’s Assistant (PA or Assistant to the Producer) is a more specialized role, often requiri

6. ENHANCING EXPERIENCE
Two and a half years ago, while working on various projects, I set a new goal: to earn my Master’s in Business Administration. Film is not just art—it’s a business, and to be a producer, understanding that side of the industry is essential. Earning this degree meant long nights of studying after full days on set, but it was worth every moment. The film industry is immensely rewarding yet unpredictable. Furthering my education has expanded my knowledge and will open doors to

3. FILMING STORIES OF JESUS CHRIST
Who would have thought that saying “Quiet please, thank you” would lead me to where I am today?

On days when my actor wasn’t needed, I was invited to join the production department as a production assistant, an opportunity I accepted with gratitude and excitement.

2. INTERNSHIPS
DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM I’ve always been drawn to movies, entertainment, and the magic of storytelling. My first hands-on experience came in 2017 when I joined the Disney College Program at Walt Disney World, starting at the Art of Animation Resort before transferring to Magic Kingdom on Main Street at "Tony's Restaurant". While I don’t have photos from my first program, I returned for a second program in August 2019 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, working in operations for li
