About

My deal.

I am a working parent. (Yes, I'm really leading with that.)

I started my production career as a script supervisor on short films and independent features, tracking cigarette length continuity like a boss. Then I moved into writing and producing commercials, animated films, and TV series.

I started my reproduction career with the birth of my first child. 

And I realized how "work" and "life" were never going to be mutually exclusive. Or balanced. 

When I first became a mom, I saw other working parents marginalizing their families, squeezing "life" into the cracks of their "work" days. I can't subscribe to this practice.

My kids motivate me. Inspire me. And remind me that if I'm going to be away from them for 10 hours a day, it's got to be for a meaningful reason. And it is; the work I do fulfills me in ways parenting does not, and vice versa. (Also, I live in NYC, and it's expensive AF.)

My years in creative production informed my parenting. And my experience as a mom has only benefited me at work. If I can stay chill through a third degree meltdown in a supermarket check-out aisle, I can deal with whatever drama work throws my way.

Over the course of my 15+ year career, I have written and creative directed award-winning content for such networks as IFC, A&E, SundanceTV, and Bravo. I've produced TV for Disney and OWN. My personal essays and short humor pieces have appeared in such places as The New York Times, Reductress, Self, and the print anthologies Six-Word Memoirs on Jewish Life, and So Glad They Told Me: Women Get Real About Motherhood. 

And I've gone on at least two class trips a year, attended orchestra concerts, dance recitals, ballroom demonstrations, and class presentations. All those experiences have fueled my creative approach, so that I may inspire the next generation.

It's never a balance. It's always a flow.

I'm a third generation New Yorker, born and raised in Queens. I live in Jackson Heights with my husband and our two children. AMA about Star Wars and 80s New Wave.
