About me: Well, I've always loved a great party! So? Now I throw the best of them and all for good cause. For the last 10 years I've worked in fine dining and event planning. Now all that fine partying is tied up with a big philanthropic bow! My newest gig is organizing auctions, galas, festivals and booking the weekly Guest Chefs for Seattle's FareStart. "Great Food. Better Lives."
FareStart provides a community that transforms lives by empowering homeless and disadvantaged men, women, and families to achieve self-sufficiency through life skills, job training and employment in the food services industry.

Who I'd like to meet: My short (16.5-minute) documentary focuses on the gentrification of Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood and its affects on resident artists. I developed the treatment for this documentary then, worked as producer, director, cinematographer, narrator and editor. "Heart & Sold" screened at 911 Media Arts.
