Welcome to my Website!  I have over 25 years of experience working for the first-rate Architectural, Theme Entertainment and Retail Development Companies, taking projects from conception to construction.

Most recently, I was the Creative Producer for the Summer Splash Market Event at Universal Studios Japan.  I worked closely with the Marketing, Merchandising & Food Departments along with the Art Directors, Graphic Designers and Vendors to create a unique interactive water base summer experience for park guests.  Previously, I was employed as a Sr. Tenant Coordinator/Manager of National Accounts/Project Manager at Westfield LLC, where in concert with the Tenant Coordination Department, Leasing Team, Mall Management, The Tenants (their architects, MEP consultants and contractors) and the City Officials, I opened a variety of stores and eateries.  Additionally, I worked as a Sr. Showset Designer at Walt Disney Imagineering, focusing on Themed Park and Land Based Entertainment Projects.

Prior to my West Coast pursuits, I worked with Alan Lapidus, P.C. (son of Architect Morris Lapidus, Father of Entertainment Architecture) in New York City developing presentations and architectural drawings for hotels and casinos.

My creative journey began studying Fine Arts at Boston University and completing my BS in Architecture at The Ohio State University.   I obtained a Certificate in Construction Management at UCLA Extension and am additionally a Registered Architect in The State of New York.

For the past 15 years, I have served as the Chair Person on The Decorating Committee for the Special Olympics Southern California Pier Del Sol Event.  I also volunteer for the Reading Partners at Carthay Center Elementary School.  These endeavors satisfy my desire to give back to the community.
