After getting her MFA (Film Directing) from NYU’s Graduate Film Program she worked at Philip  Seymour Hoffman’s Cooper’s Town Productions, initially as a development associate, and later as Mr  Hoffman’s assistant and Production Executive on projects for Showtime, Lionsgate among others, which  adds to her knowledge and expertise of all areas of production, enriching her directing abilities.
