I am an Emmy Award winning Producer and Independent Filmmaker with 25 years of experience in both live action and animation. A Southern California native raised primarily in the Malibou Lake area of the Santa Monica Mountains, I received my BFA from California Institute of the Arts in Film/Video and have since spent the majority of my time making short films while simultaneously writing and producing in the animation industry. As a CalArts graduate, my approach to the production process is always rooted in creativity. Having worked in various roles over the past two decades has afforded me firsthand knowledge of the entire process from pre to post in 2D, CG and hybrid productions. I live in Los Angeles with my husband, Colin and our youngest son. Our three adult children are in and out of the home - mostly on their own adventures.
