In Los Angeles and New York, she worked for six years as a professional actress, appearing on stage in You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, and in commercials and print ads for Charmin, Cheer, and Von's, among others. Settling in Los Angeles, she took Temp assignments as an Executive Assistant at Disney, Dreamworks, NBC, and Warner Bros., in Administration, Animation, Business Affairs, Development, Human Resources, and Legal. As a Graphic Artist, she did ink-and-paint on an animated commercial for Dannon Yogurt, and on the animated short Shadow of Doubt, and did rotoscoping on the independent feature Only Hope. She has a Bachelor's Degree in Screenwriting, with a Women's Studies minor. Currently getting her Master's in Screenwriting, she has lectured on Film History and Theory. She recently finished directing and editing two commercials for local cable, one of which she also wrote and produced. These showcase her strengths in working with actors in comedic and slice-of-life scenarios. She wants to direct more commercials, and to write and direct films with strong female protagonists.
