Spiti Valley, Indian Himalaya, 2025
Content Creator by profession...
En route from Florida to San Francisco in a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere, I found myself tinkering with the carburetor at the peak of the Continental Divide. Knowing I'd make a terrible mechanic, I earned a B.A. from San Francisco State.
I have been helping people develop and tell their stories on screen for over 25 years: starting in news at KRON San Francisco, then moving through Industrial Light & Magic as a visual effects editor, Wild Brain animation, a feature film in Toronto, and eventually emotion studios in Sausalito, developing and editing campaigns for Adobe, Cisco, GM, and Delta.

What doesn't kill you...
The start of a global pandemic seemed like a good time to head for a lower population density: I traded Fairfax, CA, for the eastern Oregon high desert. At the base of the Cascades, with a view to the west over Klamath Lake, I designed and built my home.
I reignited my love of dirt riding in the Eastern Oregon Outback. After meeting a berm in the Warners on a friend's Honda XL650, I bought a modified Beta125 motard.

Adventurer at heart...
I've adventured around the world: backpacking Torres del Paine, Nanga Parbat Base Camp, and the temples of Angkor Wat; riding Himmies up to Muktinath in Nepal and through the Spiti Valley in India.
I'm currently pursuing my SMAW welding cert and I'm a hobbyist blacksmith. I'm still not a mechanic — but I know exactly what a good story needs.

Paths forward...
I've been tracing the dusty two-tracks and dark skies of southeastern Oregon on a BMW F650GS — and founded Dark Sky Riders, a women-led ADV group out of Klamath Falls.
​
In September 2024, I joined Klamath Community College as Digital Media Design Department Lead where I now shape the next generation of visual storytellers.​ But I miss working at the intersection of strategy and production, where the standard is non-negotiable and the team knows it.

The Next Adventure...
I'm interested in relocating to the Columbia River Gorge, where my brother has opened a downwinding specialty outfitter in Stevenson, WA.
I want to be closer to family and have an opportunity to explore another breathtaking part of the world, with a company dedicated to outfitting the most challenging adventures.
