I grew up on set, babysat by PAs, while my dad Bill Scarlet, directed commercials on the Universal Back Lot in LA. Production was in my blood, before I even knew it.
The summer between junior & senior year at Albion College circa 08’, I was looking for work. It just so happens, that the Michigan Film Incentive was kicking in and my dad connected me with a 2nd AD in Detroit. I interviewed for a PA position for a Lifetime movie called Prayers for Bobby, starring Sigourney Weaver. You betcha I wore a power suit to that interview. And then all of a sudden, I found myself on the set of a movie in a rain scene, kneeling down in front Sigourney Weaver, stuffing foot warmers in her classy high heels while looking up at her, realizing movie magic was real. I’ve been hooked ever since.
I truly and utterly love production and the work I do. Grinding on set for 15 years gives you a certain type of 'hustler mentality.' My work ethic is intense and detailed, meaning I can handle multiple responsibilities in high-stress situations, all the while keeping a positive and fun attitude. Cause we gotta have fun right?
As a producer, I work with multiple departments, tasked to streamline the needs of clients plus the desires of creatives in order to produce the most successful outcome. I am always striving to challenge myself, professionally and personally to become a better producer and a better human being.
My list of brands include: KFC, BetMGM, Jersey Mike’s, NHL, Jeep, Target, Google, Walmart, Best Buy, Intel, Molson Coors, Leinenkugel Beer, Perdue Chicken, Dish TV, Chevrolet, Ford, Nintendo, Super 8 Motels.
My list of agencies include: Highdive Agency, Colle McVoy, VML, Leo Burnett, GTB, Commonwealth/McCann, MONO, Big Day, Best Buy.
Nowadays, I find myself working remotely from the northern woods of Minnesota, with my city base being Minneapolis - love the Twin Cities! My partner & I are road warrior travelers aka successful digital nomads.
I love yoga, reading and meditation to calm the mind. I’m a proud mother of 10 beautiful house plants, a foxes named Sanford, a handful of deer, a grouse and a family of chipmunks near our cabin in the woods (see below). I’m an avid cook, aka a tornado in the kitchen with some pretty delish outcomes.
Lowkey, I am a CBD/Cannabis enthusiast, a Tarot Reader and podcast host. @SacredSaturdaze
I'm a Scorpio Sun & Scorpio Moon with an Aries Rising. Meaning I am a magnetic, strong-willed, intuitive individual, with a big imagination and an even bigger heart.
