About me
Before moving to LA, I spent almost 7 years in the NYC film industry, doing mostly art department jobs like Props and Set Dressing, but also craft services, Key PA'ing, wardrobe, etc. I started off in film and TV but spent my last three years working almost exclusively on commercials.Before venturing into my career in film/tv career, I spent six years as a white water raft guide, ski instructor, and Outward Bound instructor in Washington, New Mexico, Wyoming and Vermont, and a Program Coordinator for huge outdoor ed courses all over California (teaching Hollywood's most famous kids how to climb, canoe, backpack, and sea kayak). I have excellent leadership skills, I understand the big picture, and I'm a master at logistics and thinking on my toes. My outdoor adventure career, which involved life-threatening situations on a regular basis, trained me well for the high-stress, high stakes world of film. I've also been doing comedy in NYC and LA for almost ten years, so I'm fun to be around on set and I know how to life spirits when the days are getting long and the moral is low. That and I have a strong work ethic, which any of my references listed can attest to. Hire me!

Additional information:
I've also lived in 5 different countries and have traveled to 30. I am well versed at meeting people, getting along well with others, and going with the flow. I also speak Spanish, though not so well anymore.
