I've been involved in the entertainment field for over 25 years. Dedicated to providing support to all areas of the industry from film programming & festival scheduling to creative brand management. My eye for detail provides an excellent skill for festival screening and lineup selection, program & website proofreading and overall festival direction.

Currently, I'm an offsite/remote volunteer with the annual FilmOut San Diego Film Festival as their Senior Film Programmer...allowing me to screen hundreds of films yearly, develop relationships with filmmakers and distributors and stay current with cinematic trends. I've also previously worked for the Journal of Longevity magazine in Los Angeles where I booked photographers, celebrities and models for their editorial and feature print spreads. 

With my superb organizational skills, creativity and professionalism…I look forward to helping in any area of the industry.

Over 25 years in the creative industry creating brand identity and marketing collateral visual communication

Extensive experience with booking celebrities, actors, filmmakers, models, photographers and stylists for events and editorial layouts 

Stay tuned for more!
