As a recovering television editor, I’m a seasoned problem-solver with a lot of opinions about the way we work in the entertainment industry. With 15 years of award-winning experience in media and hundreds of television and film credits, I want to use my well-honed sense of user empathy and my well-earned technical knowledge to bridge the gap between creative and technology. Currently, I’m doing that as a Product Marketing Manager for Professional Editorial at Adobe. 

 

 My chronic volunteer-itis keeps me busy serving my community with organizations like Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and Junior League of Los Angeles, an organization that develops women as leaders. I also built my own nonprofit, The Second Act Foundation, which helps women over thirty enter new STEM careers. 

 

I’ve got an unstoppable curiosity for exploring new workflows and improving processes — I’m currently pursuing a Masters in Integrated Design, Business, and Technology at USC’s Iovine and Young Academy. Plus, I’m a Project Management Professional (PMP), Certified Scrummaster (CSM), Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt — and yes, technically still certified in Final Cut Pro 6!

 

Whether it’s mentoring underrepresented young people, serving the community, or creating new things with great teams, I love to solve real problems.
