3 years ago I made a career change -- here's why.
Producing TV takes a ton of work, 
12, 14 to 16 hour days is pretty typical. 
But after the election in 2016, I knew that if I was going to work hard the work had to mean more, much more.
An opportunity came my way to canvass for a local candidate. Knocking doors to talk to voters, seeing the passion and commitment of everyone around me to bring real change - that was my Oprah A-Ha moment. 
I went to my Manager and said please give me more responsibility, this is for me!
I was quickly promoted and began learning the ropes of managing canvassing campaigns.

I'm committed to electing & re-electing Democratic Candidates and to Organizing for the ideals that support a progressive vision.
I love this work and look forward to new opportunities -- to work with great Candidates and Organize for progressive causes.

My TV Production & Media Events bio. 

I am also a Producer, covering all areas of video production and non-scripted TV.  
In 2016 I created my own production company, No Downside Media, successfully producing video content for important organizations, events. Including 2 remarkable events held in here in Los Angeles "The Urban Soil Summit" in 2105 & 2017.  With a deep love for food I also produced some fun stop motion cooking videos as well.
My experience as a Reality TV Producer includes producing for NBC daytime, E! Entertainment, Style, SyFy, Paramount Pictures, TLC, Yahoo.com.  
A few of successful productions include "Secret Princes," returning for Season 2 on TLC; Yahoo.Shine.com’s 12 episode Web series, Style Studio with Rebecca Minkoff; and Emmy nominated “How Do I Look?” on Style Network.
Independently, I also Executive Produced a project for Chaz Dean, creator of WEN Hair and Body Care.
+++I created, and hosted a highly successful Seminar in Los Angeles, "Reality TV A to Z: How to Pitch and Produce Reality TV."  I gathered an exceptional panel of industry pros at this full day seminar and provided insider information about the "how-to" of creating reality TV.
I have also presented before the National Speaker’s Association on “the business of the business.”
In addition to producing, I am a  Media Consultant, training experts and every day people to appear on-camera.
As a Media Consultant, I've also consulted for people interested in pitching reality TV.  
​I currently reside in Los Angeles, CA with my rescue dog Bosco.
