Pasadena, California, United States

I’m producing shoots, managing crew and supervising post-production for Les Guthman’s documentary features and series, chronicling the work of women and LGBTQ Astrophysicists and Engineers on the LIGO scientific project. For XPLR Productions I solve logistics in pre-production, produce and shoot on-location, and later move into post for story producing, finishing & delivery. I hire, inspire and manage film crews, conduct research, write interview questions, create and supervise budgets, apply for additional funding, direct some of the primary interviews, manage and execute post-production, and also promote films at festivals. LIGO films are made in collaboration with CalTech and MIT, with funding by The National Science Foundation and MathWorks.

Regularly stayed up all night working as an Assistant Editor in feature animation at Pixar. Recorded and edited hundreds of professional voice-over sessions, logged thousands of hours on an Avid, animated millions of storyboards in After Effects, and ate most of my meals in front of a computer for years! 🤣 I was a second Assistant Editor on A Bug's Life, an Assistant Editor on Toy Story 2 for a few years, followed by 10 months working on Monsters, Inc., where I shot, edited and animated tens-of-thousands of hand-drawn storyboards in After Effects and Avid, to create animatics for timing and guiding 3D animation (including the now famous opening-doors title sequence). I gained valuable writing, editing and story structure skills during my time at Pixar by preparing and trimming Avid sequences, attending story sessions, recording actors, replacing shot revisions and voice-over sound bites, adding sound effects, and outputting many, many rewrites and editorial sequence versions to video and film.
