About
I am a Unit Manager with experience in studios and challenging locations, organising facilities, bases and parking, coordinating security during production, scouting and negotiating agreements/permits. I am noted to be hardworking, positive and calm under pressure. I’m fluent in French, and confident in driving vehicles, from Quads/Mules (with trailer) to Trucks.
I was born in Thonon-les-Bains, situated on the border of France and Switzerland, in 1993. I am Half-Persian, half-Dutch and have traveled extensively around the world to countries in Eastern Europe, North of Africa, The Caribbeans and more.
I speak fluent English and French and has also studied Spanish and Persian.
Equally interested and successful in both the arts and the different sciences of the Film and TV Industry, and have chosen the path of Location and Unit Management as a career.
