After I received a B.A. in Communications Studies from UCLA, I began my career as a producer of live shows, records, and tv commercials. During this time, my then-husband and I lived from 1987-1990 in Pine Cove. Leaving the Hill, I switched directions to attend law school, receiving my Juris Doctor in 1994, and thereafter clerked on the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. I began my law career as a media litigator at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, then became an IP/new media lawyer at Troy & Gould. In 2000, I joined Neopets, Inc. as General Counsel. After Neopets was sold in 2005, I remained with the same management team as we founded the education technology company Age of Learning, Inc, including its flagship product ABCmouse.com. From 2007-2015, I served as EVP of Content and General Counsel, then returned to my production roots, serving as Sr. EVP of Content Production and Design and then as Executive Producer. In 2008, my husband and I purchased a weekend cabin in Idyllwild, and in 2015 purchased a full-time home. In 2019, I became the president of the non-profit Idyllwild Community Center, in 2021 I was appointed to a 3-year term as a Commissioner of the Riverside County Children and Families Commission (First 5 Riverside), in 2022 was elected to a 4-year term as a Commissioner for the Idyllwild Fire Protection District. I am a member of SAG-AFTRA and NARAS, as well as a Grammy nominee, and in 2023 I retired from Age of Learning and joined Idyllwild Realty as a full-time sales agent. I am also a proud Rotarian and Soroptimist.
