I guess I could tell you that I grew up in Chicago and never had any aspirations of being in the film industry. 24 years ago I moved to L.A. and still had no desire, never even thought about it. My experience was always in business and I worked boring jobs in very dreary cubicles.

      One day, I was laid off my job and really had to ponder what I was going to do with my life. A friend of mine was a producer for commercials and asked if I wanted to get into doing Craft Service so I did. I am embarrassed to say, I didn’t even know what that was, but I said I would do it anyways. I quickly learned that it was a lot of very hard work but I did that for well over 2 years. During my stint in food, I started to notice other positions on the set and questioned what "that women" was doing over their with the stop watch. I soon found out that she was the Script Supervisor and she did the continuity. Ok, so what is that? Well, I found that out also and sought out a school that offered a 20 week course. Soon after I finished the course, I started doing free work for students in college. This is where I really learned how to do the job.

     It has been quite a learning experience the past 15 years. I have had some ups and downs in this business, but wouldn’t trade any of it for the world. I decided to move to Phoenix , December  of 2000, and made the move in February 2001. At first I wasn’t sure of the job situation in Arizona, but I feel that I made the right decision. I travel often and love seeing other cities and experiencing new adventures. I believe that out of a bad thing, good always comes. Losing my job in 1991 was the best thing that ever happened. Its been 7 years now and film in Arizona is is booming. Much better then it was back in 2001.  I have connected with some wonderful people in the business and have high hopes for the future.
