My work spans both adult and mainstream media, and I bring a strong ethical foundation, trauma-informed practices, and deep respect for performers into every project.
Originally from Hungary and raised in the U.S., I hold a BA in Film from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. My career began in directing and producing, including running my own studio and creating award-winning projects grounded in emotional truth and creative collaboration. Those years gave me a unique skill set: the ability to choreograph authentic, emotionally truthful scenes while safeguarding consent, boundaries, and professionalism. I view this as a strength that allows me to navigate vulnerability on set with confidence and care.
I have completed a SAG-AFTRA accredited intimacy coordination program and am certified in Mental Health First Aid. My approach blends artistic leadership with clear communication, helping actors feel empowered in vulnerable moments and ensuring productions are both safe and emotionally authentic. Whether I am choreographing a love scene, collaborating with stunts, or guiding a team through sensitive material, I bring clarity, humor, and heart to every set.

“I don’t think having an intimacy coordinator is even a choice anymore,” Stone told NPR. “I think in the past five years, the industry has changed a lot for the better. Having her there felt like having both a safety net and a choreographer and a handhold. She and I would text after a day of doing some of these scenes and just sort of say how we were feeling and what was going on. And it was just this really beautiful relationship that I found extremely, extremely meaningful.”
