33. Im legit shocked at what happened during this trip around the sun.
Highlights:
Left NBCU for a startup. Promptly put my software engineering career on hold indefinitely.
Started working with @michaelaslezak and @jess.weaver1221 on a community open mic. Have been at 3 venues
Stage managed a show with EPIC that included Kristen Bell and Josh Gad
Directed a show for Hollywood Fringe
Performed in 2 Shakespeare shows
Acted in an short film about female rage and empowerment
Have worked on 3 shows with @bardflytheatreco and met some amazing souls
Co-produced a play festival as a primary producer
Produced and directed a short film
Helped build out a restaurant in NoHo
Directed two short plays that were fan favorites
Launched a consulting business
Joined SFU as an academic adviosor
Have had countless encounters and silly little experiences...
...and thats all I can remember just off the top of my head that doesn't include the weekly and daily things like dancing, singing, writing, my cats, and getting back to the gym.

This has been a year of surrender. Of letting go. Of letting things roll off my back in ways that suprise me. Its about slowing down. Shrinking but somehow expanding at the same time. If I met you this year, thank you for what you brought to me. Thank you for the friendships that deepened. Thank you to the connections that ended. Thank you so much for everything I lost this year. It feels so much better now.

For 34...here is to the things I feel are on their way: my dream home, business success, more theater and film, more mentoring and consulting, more laughs, more dance, a partner, and the last remaining things to melt away.

The year has started with many modes...barreling full speed ahead, crashing into roadblocks, being adored and hated, being championed and forgotten. Oh, and the damn country is at a flash point. 2026, you wild.

Also, how did I go from pic one to pick two in a few hours? A red lip, hairbrush, and photo shoot...

2025. Damn. Not only did it start with me packing up just in case I should escape LA on fire but it also involved leaving one job, that job eating me up, and then wandering aimlessly for most of the year. I lost more faith in my family, I had 3 people look me in the face and tell me I was too much in the most negative ways (thanks MW, NB, and GE for testing if I can still love myself when I lose people)

But thats the thing, I didn't really lose myself. I have been in objectively the least safe position I've been in with basically no family, little support, and a lot of losses but I'm happier than ever. Everything that's exited wasnt a missed blessing, a part that I crave back, or even something good for me. Instead they gave me space.

And then the objectively good: directing a Hollywood Fringe Show, the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet, directing a short film that won an award, regaining some health, healthy cats, starting a business, producing an open mic with incredible talents, stage managing a show with two A-list celebrities, writing, producing, meeting more like minded people, deepening friendships, and helping so many people. Also, being hot, dancing, cooking, laughing, and persevering the whole way through.

For every bad, I still had people seek me out, wish me well, and inspire me. I've connected and worked with amazing women (most of my projects this year were women led or had women in roles of power). Heck, even the company that fumbled me lost a bunch of steam. It was truly a year of the snake. A fully shed to leave me so, so, so much better.

And if you aren't highlighted, we need to remember to take a photo together...thats the main reason some very important people are missing.

Everything that's exited wasnt a missed blessing, a part that I crave back, or even something good for me. Instead they gave me space.

And then the objectively good: directing a Hollywood Fringe Show, the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet, directing a short film that won an award, regaining some health, healthy cats, starting a business, producing an open mic with incredible talents, stage managing a show with two A-list celebrities, writing, producing, meeting more like minded people, deepening friendships, and helping so many people. Also, being hot, dancing, cooking, laughing, and persevering the whole way through.

For every bad, I still had people seek me out, wish me well, and inspire me. I've connected and worked with amazing women (most of my projects this year were women led or had women in roles of power). Heck, even the company that fumbled me lost a bunch of steam. It was truly a year of the snake. A fully shed to leave me so, so, so much better.

And if you aren't highlighted, we need to remember to take a photo together...thats the main reason some very important people are missing.

2025. Damn. Not only did it start with me packing up just in case I should escape LA on fire but it also involved leaving one job, that job eating me up, and then wandering aimlessly for most of the year. I lost more faith in my family, I had 3 people look me in the face and tell me I was too much in the most negative ways (thanks MW, NB, and GE for testing if I can still love myself when I lose people)

Its almost the end of the year so its time for me to lean into some vanity and say that sometimes I look hot, often I look pretty, and I always look some type of vibe. All this because where are the men who should be worshipping me...get to the right level.

Be a little vain.

This year I was able to participate in the Hollywood Short and Sweet Festival as a director. I found out about it because of Hollywood Fringe and got to see some many familiar faces!

It was a chance to read and choose two scripts out of submission from around the world. It was a chance to direct some more poignant pieces than I have in the past. It was also a chance to work with some of my favorite actors and add more favs to that list.

It was months of prep and over in a blink of the eye. It was also an honor that both shows I directed got to perform an additional show! Truly humbling to have that experience and all the credit to my actors who made the shows so much more. @greggellson @sam.tereshko @haylst0rm @josieday444 @jeanfiumara

To the writers who let me bring their words to the stage. @terifoltz @nora.three60

And to @shortandsweethollywood_ led by @ashleykarp3 and @sodalovestar for making this all happen.

What a way to set off the end of the year.

October was a busy month in retrospect. Returned to Shakespeare under the direction of @colleenhammondwhitmore for The Tempest as Alonsa and shared the stage with some of my favorite again and some new ones. I got to direct, open, and get an extension for two amazing plays in the @shortandsweethollywood_ festival with the most lovely actors ever! (@jeanfiumara @haylst0rm @josieday444 @sam.tereshko @greggellson) Another amazing @communityopenmicla with the much too talented @michaelaslezak and @jess.weaver1221 . Saw some great performances by other talented friends, continued to watch the @thewitchscottage1111 blossom into something beautiful for the community. Stage managing for EPIC players and doing scene study with them. Got to spend time with my two wards and their love that makes my home home. Went back in time with a boy band throwback concert and spooked it up with Halloween.

While its hard and scary in this transition in my career and my personal like, I'm so thankful to be creatively fulfilled and inspired by my friends, know I still have the capacity to do real work, and also all the silly emotions and crushes that keep finding my brain. Here is to more shenanigans and hopefully a job by the end of the year!

While its hard and scary in this transition in my career and my personal like, I'm so thankful to be creatively fulfilled and inspired by my friends, know I still have the capacity to do real work, and also all the silly emotions and crushes that keep finding my brain. Here is to more shenanigans and hopefully a job by the end of the year!

October was a busy month in retrospect. Returned to Shakespeare under the direction of @colleenhammondwhitmore for The Tempest as Alonsa and shared the stage with some of my favorite again and some new ones. I got to direct, open, and get an extension for two amazing plays in the @shortandsweethollywood_ festival with the most lovely actors ever! (@jeanfiumara @haylst0rm @josieday444 @sam.tereshko @greggellson) Another amazing @communityopenmicla with the much too talented @michaelaslezak and @jess.weaver1221 . Saw some great performances by other talented friends, continued to watch the @thewitchscottage1111 blossom into something beautiful for the community.

I have 3 shows going up the next couple of weeks! Links in bio for all shows.

The first two are part of the Short and Sweet festival. @shortandsweethollywood_

"Wild Strawberries" is a story close to my heart. All women created, bitter sweet, and a must see. Vote for us as your favorite so we can perform it more. @noravitzharrison @jeanfiumara @josieday444 @haylst0rm

"The Off Chance" is silly, flirty, and mysterious. I adore these actors and they will leave you kicking your feet and giggling. Also vote for us as your favorite to let us perform more! @terifoltz @sam.tereshko @greggellson

The Tempest in 60 Minutes is so good! Im excited to work with @colleenhammondwhitmore again and some of my dear friends on the stage. Come see me in a crown, looking for my lost son, trying to avoid a sorcerer. Part of Spookyfest with @thestagecrafts

Shows with @sourcefiltermusic, @epicplayersla, and @bardflytheatreco coming soon!

I love my talented network
