Work experience summary

I started my career working in fine dining in Napa and New York before going to NYU, where I interned for various players in the entertainment industry. After college I wrote and managed all the grants for the Civil Practice of the Legal Aid Society in New York. After law school I worked as an attorney in Foley & Lardner’s Trademark, Copyright and Advertising group, and also split my time with the White Collar Defense group.

Favorite Film
I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite! However, the films you will hear me quoting incessantly are: Big Business, The First Wives Club and The Pajama Game.
Concession stand must haves
Sour strawberry belts, Diet Coke, popcorn with mustard (don’t judge!)
Favorite cinema memory

Watching Art School Confidential at the Angelika in New York on my first date with my (now) husband. The feeling of being alone together in a room full of people is truly remarkable. I would also be lying if I left out the (six) times I sobbed through Titanic as a young teenager or watching my father on the big screen in the documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired.
