Bio

With an extensive background as a produced Hollywood screenwriter and an instructor with over 20 years experience, I currently work in Los Angeles at LAUSD / USC Media Arts & Engineering Magnet, where I have built its Animation and Video Production from the ground up.  I have set up partnerships with Nickelodeon, DreamWorks Animation Studios, NBC/Universal, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, USC, and AFI to bring my students real world filmmaking opportunities and experiences. In 2016, I was honored to be selected as the National Magnet Teacher of the Year by the Magnet Schools of America.
