My goal is simple: make the administrative and operational side of production feel effortless so our clients can focus on what they do best, creating exciting, impactful advertising content.

I’ve spent over a decade developing meaningful technology solutions across the entertainment industry, holding leadership and product roles at Entertainment Partners, Extreme Reach, and Disney. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on turning complex financial and operational challenges into practical, impactful solutions always centered on solving customer problems, mentoring talented teams, and bringing ambitious ideas to life.

When I’m not shaping product strategy or mapping roadmaps, you’ll likely find me cheering (very loudly) for my daughters at competitive cheer and gymnastics events. I bring that same energy, commitment, and team-first mindset to everything I do.

I’m beyond thrilled to join TPC, a group of passionate, talented, and genuinely kind individuals and I look forward to integrating smart technology into our already effective workflows to help us scale and continue delivering top-tier service to our clients.

I bring nearly 20 years of operational leadership experience in the entertainment payroll space, with a background spanning operations, client services, marketing, and organizational transformation. After earning my Bachelor of Business Marketing from Cal State Northridge, I started in an entry-level Client Services role at Cast & Crew, one of the “big two” entertainment payroll providers and have spent the next 15 years growing within this unique and niche industry. I genuinely love a strong process and have led numerous transformation initiatives, including acquisitions and change management efforts across various companies such as Entertainment Partners, and XR Extreme Reach. Along the way, I’ve built operational frameworks, guided cross-functional teams through product launches, developed performance-driven strategies, and created client-focused programs that elevate both experience and results.

In my most recent role at XR/Extreme Reach, I expanded into the commercial space supporting commercial talent payroll and vendor payments – an exciting shift from film and television, and I’m thrilled to now apply my operational experience at TPC.

As a mom of two boys, my personal time is energy filled with beach days, trips to Disneyland, little league baseball, with a sprinkle of reading and hiking.

When I shifted to brand strategy and marketing, I needed to know what made the company unique in the market compared to its competitors. As the head of marketing and sales, I developed a thorough understanding of every service line of the company. This allowed me to be more consultive in my approach and mentor my team to do the same. I always kept my eye on the North Star while marshaling stakeholders with varying needs and objectives to accomplish the shared mission. This leadership style has carried over to my roles on numerous boards.

As President of AICP’s Midwest Region (www.aicp.com) I lobbied at both the state (Illinois) and federal levels to educate lawmakers on the challenges of runaway production. I ultimately rallied production related businesses, union leadership, universities with film programs and film offices to form the Illinois Production Alliance (www.illinoisproduction.com) and, as its first President, spearhead the creation of Illinois’ first film production tax incentive which has since generated billions in revenue and thousands of jobs in the state.

My journey with TPC started years before I joined the company. Bonding over our Production Incentive journeys, I had many collaborative discussions with TPC’s forward-thinking Managing Director. We discussed friction points we saw in the industry and how they related to each other. We have subsequently developed a business expansion strategy that involves interrelated service areas that are enhanced by a best-in-class technology platform.

I am thrilled to help lead this expansion of TPC and being part of this tremendous group of people!

Work-life balance is important and I am very fortunate that TPC prioritizes this (thank you!). I have a lot of interests and can pretty much talk about anything. TTH, you know who you are; fabulous friends, family, coworkers/clients present and past; music, sports, dancing, travel, Jon Hamm…these are a few of my favorite things!

Born and raised in Connecticut. My first job was for IBM Global Services in Southbury where my role was to support their technology center and where I learned IT administration. I then moved to Boston for college and worked for Pitney Bowes operating a printing center inside of a large law firm, and as the General Manager for a Newbury Street salon. 

California had always been calling my name so by 2014 I had made the exciting move to Los Angeles where I began work as an Executive Assistant and House Manager. Having the pleasure of working with celebrities, coordinating complex travel schedules, and managing large properties with staff.

In 2018 I accepted a position with the Production Company Critical Content to work on a Bravo home renovation show as a Set Decorator. This is where I began to learn all the ins and outs of working in high volume, fast paced Production! 

Later that year I accepted my role with TPC and have happily been here ever since!  I am very proud to be a part of this amazing team!

I graduated with a degree in B.S in Accountancy from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. I started my career in 2017 as an accounting associate dealing with credit and collection, in a retail-wholesale company for two years.

In July 2021, I joined Elite Commercial Incentive Services with no idea about the film and commercial industry. As soon as the training start, I learn something new every day and familiarize myself with it. And how the service we provide in the industry makes difference. Small progress is still progress. And I’m so thrilled to work with amazing people from another side of the world, with different backgrounds for the first time.

The merger of Elite and TPC will open doors with countless opportunities for everyone. And I’m excited and looking forward to learning more and growing along with TPC.

I was born on the island of Oahu but grew up in Florida.  College took me to Clemson, South Carolina where I studied Marketing at Clemson University (Go Tigers!).  After graduation I moved to London, England and worked at The King’s Head and Eight Bells pub pulling pints.  What else do you do after college, right?  Upon return to the States, I began my graduate studies at The George Washington University in Washington, DC, graduating with an MBA in International Finance.  From there it was off to Chicago, Illinois where I worked as a consultant for Ernst & Young and then IBM.

After too many icy, cold winters I decided it was time to move to warm, sunny California!  Los Angeles provided me with many job opportunities, including some acting jobs on The Young & the Restless, The Newsroom and Days of Our Lives.  Between acting jobs, I began searching for a new career path which could utilize all my past studies and experiences.  During my search I discovered TPC where I found a great fit and some new friends!

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Bachelor of Science in Applied Corporate Management from De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. A month before my graduation (yes, I was that eager to earn my own $), I started my banking career with Standard Chartered Bank doing Final Taxes and Foreign Exchange. But since I was young and adventurous (not to mention a little reckless), I decided to move to Singapore four years later. I worked for The Royal Bank of Scotland managing Trade portfolios while also developing and implementing trade finance procedures and policies for Asia.

I was already planning to follow my husband to LA when the bank announced its closure in 2015. I stayed for another year (one last hurrah!) and was appointed as the Officer-in-Charge for the portfolio management and closure of Trade products in Asia. In 2017, after much convincing and bribery from my husband, I moved to LA. I worked for US Bank handling export and import financing. Everything was as I planned in my career, but motherhood (and not to mention, the pandemic) has set me to a different path. Motherhood and career didn’t really go well until TPC presented an amazing opportunity I could not resist. Having a fulfilling career and being a mother is still possible after all.

I am happy and proud to be part of a Company that not only values integrity and positivity, but also empowers women in their professional journey.

I graduated from the University of the Cordilleras, Baguio City Philippines. I started my career in 2017 as an Accounting Associate focusing on sales audits for SM Retail Inc. in the Philippines. Joining a large retail company allowed me to work with a variety of different people and perform physical inventory audits across all SM branches. During this time, I grew strong and independent personally and professionally.

In 2021, I decided to take a position with the Philippine’s biggest developer of integrated urban townships, real estate, and lifestyle malls – Megaworld. I worked in the Accounts Payable Department, where I focused on the reconciliation of accounts owned by Megaworld. The company’s substantial holdings provided me the opportunity to further develop my skills and competence in the accounting world.

April 2022, I joined TPC. From my first day, I felt certain that this would be an environment where I could thrive and grow even more.

I am thrilled and so grateful to work with the amazing people at TPC and I am so excited to grow and be the best in this industry.

After I graduated East Carolina University, I left having a love of pirates and headed to Washington DC were I began my career in political fundraising.  I started off as the front desk girl at Ogilvy Government relation and moved up to fundraising for Congressional campaigns.

In 2010 I bought a one way ticket and moved to sunny California and the rest was history.

I have been working in commercial tax incentives since 2017 and have loved getting to know the ins and outs of this very niche industry.

I was born and raised in Maryland. I went to college there for two years prior to transferring to and graduating from Cal State Northridge. With a passion for helping people, I worked as a pediatric speech therapist for 8 years prior to completely switching gears and joining the amazing team at TPC.  Somehow, I’ve now been in Los Angeles for almost 10 years! I love the weather and the endless things to do here. I love the Baltimore Ravens and my dog, Doobie.

Once I graduated high school in 1987, I started gearing up to go to Cosmetology school.  Within that year, I found out I was going to be a mom.  20 years old with a new born was life changing for me and for the better.  I became razor focused on being the best mom and giving my child the best life I could.  But being a cosmetologist wasn’t going to be the best move for me with a young child. I needed a better plan!

On a beautiful day in August, 1989, my little boy came into my world.  I had already taken my general education courses, so I decided to enroll in a business college to become a paralegal.  While working 2 jobs and maintaining a 4.0 GPA, I graduated early and began my career in the legal industry.  I was immediately placed at a law firm that specialized in Patent law (very boring).   During my first week at that job, I was invited to join an office pool for the IL State Lottery.  I decided to join and my boss covered my $6 entry fee.  The next day, we WON!!  Being pegged the “lucky charm” from that pool, I was so excited.  The winnings were not enough to live a lavish lifestyle, but it definitely helped this single mom and her son get ahead in life.

After a couple more years it the legal industry, I felt it just wasn’t me.  I decided to leave my career and jump head first into the advertising arena.  Instantly, I felt like I was where I needed to be.  I started on the agency side working in Account Management before transitioning to the Production department where I’ve spent over 20 years.   At my last agency job,  I was the Director of Business Affairs and built an amazing team.   We worked together for 3 years before the agency had to shut down.  Needing a bit of break, I ended up getting the best break yet.  The team at TPC invited me to join them.  We worked together on many incentives over the years and I truly enjoyed being around this team.  It was my BEST move yet.  I get to work with smart an amazing people while continuing to work with the agency folks that have been family to me over the years.

I was born in Michigan but grew up overseas in Dakar, Senegal. I went to high school in Missouri and moved to Georgia for college. I graduated from Berry College with a degree in Visual Communications and French in 2019. I moved to Atlanta, GA later that year to pursue my dreams of joining the film/entertainment industry with very little in my savings account and no connections at all. After attending the Atlanta Film Society’s PA Academy, I landed my first job on set as a production assistant on Netflix’s “The American Barbecue Showdown,” washing dishes for the culinary department. I made connections there and for the next six years wound up going from Production Assistant to Assistant Production Supervisor in the fast-paced world of live-action Commercial Production. Falling in love with the business side of Production made me want to expand my knowledge beyond day-to-day logistics to pursue a career in production accounting and film incentives. I am so grateful for the opportunity that TPC has given me to continue following my dreams!

I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Accounting Technology in 2019 from Meycauayan College. Right after graduation, I started my career as an Accounting Associate with a Real Estate company and held that position for more than three years.

I joined TPC in October 2022, and every day since I have learned exciting new things and have further developed my skills.

Pondering what I want to become, never did once cross my mind that I want to have a job related to finance or accounting. But lo and behold, I just found myself enrolled in an accounting program. It was a challenging experience for me especially since I am not fond of numbers nor analytics. Yet with perseverance and commitment, I attained my degree in Accountancy in 2023 at Cavite State University.  

During my internship, I experienced being an audit assistant. There, I got a glimpse of the world that I will be facing. I find the job amusing because every day is an endless learning experience for me. Moving forward, I joined TPC to start my professional career. I am thrilled to work with the team that will help me hone and develop my skills. I am looking forward to more opportunities and growth in this industry with the team! 

I was born and raised in Chicago but recently moved to Los Angeles when I realized I can live places that don’t have cold winters.  I earned a degree in Economics with a minor in Business Administration from Eastern Illinois University (Go Tony Romo).  Prior to working for TPC, I worked for a day trading company trading options on agricultural futures.  I have really come to enjoy my time here in LA and am glad I took a leap of faith not knowing what the future would hold for me here.
