Stepped in for the Vice President of Production while she took maternity leave and stayed through the busy transition at Groundswell Productions founded by Academy Award nominated producer Michael London. During my time I was in charge of all budgets for potential and upcoming slate of films, created production schedules, soft money estimates, produced additional photography, and executed several special projects within Groundswell's corporate structure.

I represented the company on location in Eastern Europe, Great Britain, Canada, and throughout the United States. Produced second unit photography domestically and abroad for such films as BECAUSE I SAID SO, WHITE NOISE 2, BLOOD CREEK, THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT, & THE 4TH KIND.

First real position in Hollywood during a summer off from college in NY. Worked on the Disney stages in Burbank on the first season of Sports Night, with Aaron Sorkin writing and Tommy Schlamme directing. It was an eye-opening experience into television production, studio atmosphere, and network deadlines. I couldn't have asked for a better hands on experience and I knew from there on out, I would be coming back to L.A after college to work in the industry!
