About Me

* VIDEO STUDIO-Camera, Sound & Teleprompter/Interrotron owner/Op, Streaming, "Presidential" & Camera Teleprompters-Op in San Diego. Award-winning Producer & Editor since 1982 (619-644-3000)! Work at San Diego California's best video production company CRYSTAL PYRAMID PRODUCTIONS(STUDIO, Crew & Equipment) since 1981, producing Corporate Video & Film, Television Segments, Corporate Videos, Documentaries, etc. * SOUND/CAMERA TECHNICIAN, EDITOR, VOICE OVER & TELEPROMPTER operator (Live events with Presidential system, etc.)* COVID-19 Compliant/Certified*CLIENTS- The video production team at Crystal Pyramid Productions has worked with thousands of happy clients including MasterCard, IBM, Dreamworks, Comic-con, Fox, Discovery Channel, History Channel, the Veterans Administration, Extra!, Inside Edition and many others. Some of our latest projects include Presidential teleprompting for Chris Rock and the CEO of Orora's President's Club; an indie film called "Woke: Choice Words From My Mother" that is making the film-fest circuit, is officially selected by four and an award winner in two; and providing crew and gear to local hotel properties for large events. Yay! Large events are back!

*We specialize in Interviews of CEOs, Leaders, Scientists & Innovators, Athletes and Celebrities, using Green screen or natural backdrops on location or in-home studio. We are great at helping non-professional talent relax in front of the camera and make sure your video shines with beautiful lighting & sound and even operating a teleprompter at the same time (saves $$$). I have elicited great sound bites from A-Listers like Charlize Theron, Hilary Swank, Owen Wilson, Lucy Liu, Jimmie Johnson & many others. I regularly go out as an Audio technician with top equipment specializing in interviews and boom pole operation and can run both 17" teleprompters or produce segments at the same time if needed.

I've been a story-teller ever since I was the big sister to my five siblings and entertained them with a flashlight in the bedroom closet, casting shadows on the walls with my hands. I observed how my mother filmed important moments of our family's life with a camera that my dad won from selling the most cars one year at Chrysler. When my parents gave me a Hawkeye Brownie for my birthday one year, my path was set.

For the past 40 years, as Vice President of San Diego's longest-serving video production company, Crystal Pyramid Productions, I've honed my skills in all the roles necessary to produce a film. Camera Operator, Sound Op, Boom Pole Op, Teleprompter Op, Presidential Teleprompter Op, Writer, Editor, Voice Over and sometimes Talent. A tired old adage is now turned on its head: "Jane of all trades and master of all."

Here's what we can do for you here at Crystal Pyramid Productions.


* VIDEO EDITOR & Voice Over Talent (Award-winning since 1983)
I've won multiple awards for my work over the decades as an Adobe Premiere Pro editor. I'm lightning-fast on the keyboard and have done many voice overs for projects I've edited, as well.

* STORY-TELLER, WRITER & CONTENT PRODUCER
