Most recently did on location set dressing for “Salt” and “How Do You Know” in DC.

- Plans Going Forward? (Start looking immediately, travel, move industries, etc)
- Fortunately, I got a got a months worth of film work, at a great rate, a month after I my job was "eliminated" at my former employer. That ended a few weeks ago.
At this point, I am trying to enjoy the summer, on the cheap- lots of cooking with fresh garden and farmer's market ingredients, day trips and such.
Additionally, however, I have been looking online for openings and have been networking as best as possible. I plan to step up my job search in August and September. At this point, I am happy to take short term assignments/contracts whilst I look for something a bit more permanent.
