In 2018 I made a risky yet bold decision. I was a successful non-fiction TV producer, creating interesting fun content. But, as the US and world were changing in shocking ways, I knew I had to do more. In between gigs I started a canvassing job. Talking to voters was my "A ha" moment. Then and there I made the decision to change careers. I was hired to work on political campaigns and quickly moved up the ladder. I worked on great campaigns to help elect excellent candidates to represent us here in CA and across the country, as well. Today, I'm finishing up work as the Director of Outreach for a wonderful nonprofit called Volunteer Collective. We've helped increase the rate of volunteerism for other nonprofits throughout Los Angeles.
TV Production & Media Events.
Prior to my career change in 2018, I was a non-fiction TV 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 two 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.
Additionally, my work as Non-fiction TV Producer included producing for The Golden Globes, SyFy, NBC daytime, E! Entertainment, Style, SyFy, Paramount Pictures, TLC, Yahoo.com.
In 2014, I created, and hosted a highly successful Seminar in Los Angeles, "Reality TV A to Z: How to Pitch and Produce Reality TV."
I put together 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.
My pup Bosco Pippin Schwartz was my wonderful companion for 7 years. Sadly, he passed away in March of 2023.
