You see challenges, we see opportunities.

What I do

I work as a part of the commercial incentives team! My role as an account executive is to manage our client accounts, to ensure the application of production incentives goes smoothly from start to finish.

Who I am

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.

What I do

Provide tax credit placement and brokerage solutions for our client partnerships.

Who I am 

Aloha!  Born and raised in Hawaii, I decided to attend Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA to see what this thing called “snow” was all about.  I graduated (phew) with a finance degree in hand while almost bankrupting my parents (thanks Mom and Dad!) and moved to New York City to emulate Michael J. Fox in one of my favorite movies, Secret of My Success.

I started at Credit Suisse and over the next 20 years I worked in Fixed Income Derivatives Structuring at CLSA and CIBC, and then ended my Wall Street tenure at ABG Sundal Collier offering US clients Nordic equity solutions.  In between, I jumped to a Barron’s recognized top 50 hedge fund, Libra Advisors, where I worked as a Senior Trader for 7 years.

While I will always love NYC, I closed the travel gap to Hawaii and moved to Los Angeles in late 2019 because I knew the greatest potential (I mean pandemic) experience awaited me in my next life endeavor.  Joining TPC has certainly been the best elixir – film finance is undeniably different from Wall Street finance, but the transition has been fantastic and it’s truly because of the people.  I couldn’t be more thankful to work alongside the best tax credit financiers in the business, and I look forward to all the exhilarating adventures to come!

I help to fetch the production incentives from all over the US! I like to think of incentives as treats for advertisers shooting in certain states – cash savings doesn’t taste as good as chicken, but I can’t complain. Before helping fetch incentives I would nap about 20 hours a day, and still try to when I can. You may find me networking at an event for the Association of National Advertisers, if you see me come say hello and I will shake your paw. My favorite commercial we have worked on is everything for Tyson Foods – CHICKEN!

What I do

Focusing on overall strategy for our Commercial Division, we work with brands and their ad agencies to navigate and maximize the wild world of production tax incentives, getting cash back on their commercials!

What I do:

I work in the TPC Lending Division, helping to track and close lending opportunities.

Who I am:

I attended Chapman University in Orange County, California, where I focused my studies on the logistical and business side of filmmaking. There, I was able to gain experience across all phases of production, working as a producer and production manager on several independent projects and interning with post-production facilities.

After graduating in 2020, I moved back home to Connecticut, and worked as a Portfolio Analyst for an international Commercial Real Estate lender. Though I gained invaluable experience there, my passion remained in the entertainment industry, and I moved back to the west coast to pursue a career in film financing.

Joining TPC has been a great experience, and I’m thrilled to be working alongside such a knowledgeable and dedicated team. 

What I do

Director of Lending Services.

Who I am

Born and raised in San Diego and received a degree in Finance from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. Worked on over 150 film + TV projects and Produced 20 prior to joining TPC. Avid surfer, surfboard shaper, and reader. 

What I Do

Assist production companies by reviewing, interpreting, and organizing production expenses to apply for and secure state tax incentives.

Who I Am

I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Accountancy in 2018 at Colegio de San Juan de Letran – Manila Campus. Once I graduated, I started my career as an Internal Auditor for a Japanese Financing Company which gave me the confidence to go out of my comfort zone and try new things. That’s what lead me to join TPC.

I learn new things every day as part of team TPC. I am so thankful to have colleagues who practice a proper work-life balance and encourage and help one another finish the task at hand.

What I do

Portfolio manager, managing the day-to-day tax credit monitoring and application process.

Who I am

I attended Western Washington University, where I studied History and Sociology. I have over 20 years of customer service, business management, project management and administrative support service experience.

I am a born and raised Washingtonian, and I have lived most of my life in the Great Pacific Northwest. 

In 2009, my boyfriend and I decided we needed a change of scenery. We packed up our bags, loaded the cars and made the 1,246-mile journey from Bellingham, WA to Long Beach, CA. I quickly fell in love with the laid-back SoCal lifestyle, and I loved living so close to the beach. Moving to California was one of the best decisions we made. We were able to create new work opportunities and build our careers. 

In 2016, I joined the TPC team, where I help support the loan closing process, manage the day-to-day tax credit monitoring and application process, as well as provide administrative assistance across all platforms of the business. Prior to joining the TPC team, I was a Store Manager for a wireless cellphone company, overseeing store operations, leading multiple teams to exceed sales goals, inventory management and loss prevention. 

In 2017, we decided it was time to move back to Washington. As much as I was happy to move back to Washington, I was equally sad that I had to part ways with my new work family. I was not ready to say goodbye to the TPC family, so I asked Ali if I could work from home. I figured if I did not ask the answer would be no. To quote Michael Scott, quoting Wayne Gretzky, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Ali told me he would think about it. On my very last day in the office, Ali called me into his office and let me know that TPC would keep me on temporarily and that I could work from home. 

Fast forward to the present day, after 4 years of working “temporarily” from home, I am thankful to be a part of this amazing team.

What I do

I manage and coordinate everything marketing and social media across TPC.

Who I am

My life has been a global journey, having been born in Maryland, raised in Sweden, and now residing in Los Angeles. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Production Management and a background in marketing, CMS, and social media for large corporations in Sweden, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in entertainment marketing. However, the onset of the pandemic made it difficult to find a job within that field, so I decided to launch a side business in social media marketing for indie filmmakers. This new opportunity allowed me to work with actors and promote a film featuring high-profile talent, including Vivica A. Fox, Taryn Manning, and Oscar nominee Sally Kirkland. The experience was a fantastic chance for me to grow and develop my skills. When I discovered the opportunity to work at TPC, I was excited to join a talented space where I could combine my marketing skills while still working with entertainment in the financing world.

On my free-time you can either find me bundled up under a blanket watching Shudder's latest horror movie, dining at a new restaurant, or at a dance studio in Hollywood.

What I do?

I am the head of the Post Accounting Team in our TPC Atlanta, Georgia office.

Who am I?

I was born in the Caribbean Island of Haiti, which is the first African Republic to gain its independence from France in 1804.  I immigrated to the United States at the age of 10 years old.  My parents, my sisters, and I lived in a 3 bedroom walk up apartment in Brooklyn, New York.  Fast forward 10 years later, I accepted an Accounting Clerk position while in college and realized very quickly I was good at it, and I enjoyed it. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice.  I continued my path in accounting.  I’ve held many positions in nonprofit and for-profit companies, such as a TV Networks, Healthcare, and film production.  I decided to propel my career to the next level by acquiring an advanced degree.  In 2012, I enrolled in Mercy College in the MBA program with a concentration in accounting.  I graduated in May of 2014.

Prior to my move from New York to Georgia, I was the Associate Director of Budgets & Financial Applications, a promotion from Assistant Controller.  I accepted the position of Controller in 2016 for a film production company in Atlanta name Swirl Films.  My main responsibilities also involved day to day accounting functions including financial reporting, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable for the corporate entities. I was also responsible for the day-to-day operations of production accounting to ensure our movies were on budget.  I worked very closely with producers to ensure that cost reports were done accurately and provided timely.  I made sure that due diligence was done regarding the tax credit incentives.  This allowed us to maximize our tax credit incentives.  Our clients included BET/Viacom, Lifetime/A&E, TV One, AMC, WE TV, and many more.  I am excited to bring my experience and expertise of film production accounting to TPC as I head the post accounting team.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my amazing daughter, Cierra, who will be graduating from college December 1^st, 2022.  I also enjoy running and wine (specifically red wine).  I’ve ran countless 5k’s, 10k’s, half marathons, and 4 full marathons.  My goal is to one day complete all 6 World Major Marathons.  I have completed 3 out of 6 so far; Chicago (2014 & again in 2017), Berlin (2015), New York City (2016). I need to complete London, Tokyo, and the prestigious Boston to receive my World Major Star.

Who I am

I graduated college from the University of Santo Tomas located in Manila, Philippines. I finished up Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. My first job experience was with Ernst & Young located here in the Philippines. I have gained a lot of experience in the audit industry and my eyes were brought open to the real life. It was indeed one of the toughest industries in the financial world. In 2021, I decided to move to forward another field in the accounting industry. I wanted to expand my knowledge and gain experiences from different fields and that led me to join Elite CIS, a part of TPC and FRC umbrella.

I am currently located in the Manila, Philippines and working with my team across the globe had been nothing but happy and fulfilling. I enjoy working as a part of my amazing team, even though we are miles apart they have never made us feel left out. I look forward to being a part of our growing family.

What I do

I provide Human Resources and Corporate Compliance support to the TPC team.

Who I am

I’m a two-time Wolverine (Go Blue!), with my undergrad and MBA both from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.  Post completion of undergrad in the beautiful snowy state of Michigan, I gradually moved towards sunny California.  Along the way I took in the culture, sights, and Cherry Blossoms of the Metro DC area – gaining practical experience in the Toys R Us Corporate office, then progressive responsibility with US Assist, a subsidiary of Societe Francais d’Assistance/AXA Insurance Group, as the eventual Head of Human Resources and Administration.

I made it to Los Angeles, California where I promptly experienced a rare snowfall and was able to utilize my HR, Compliance, Credit Relationship Management, and Regulatory Risk Management skills as the Head of Contracts and Administration with a Native Alaskan commodities trading and marketing company.  A few steps later, as a Senior Vice President/Global Associate Director in the Legal Risk Management Division of Macquarie Bank Limited, I added mergers and acquisitions to my professional toolbox and provided “above the wall” deal transaction support to the Investment Banking and Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities teams.

My career journey has led me to TPC where I have the pleasure of both loving what I do and working with an amazing and talented team of professionals – each passionate about the work and skilled in execution.  Yay Team!

What I do

I am part of the team that reviews and analyzes production company expenses to help them maximize tax incentives.

Who I am

I first graduated from Polytechnic University of the Philippines, but in pursuit of my dream career I studied for my 2nd degree, a BS in Accountancy. While studying, I worked as a Finance Admin Officer and Account Manager for Mobile Optima Inc, a Technology company in the Philippines. Studying and working simultaneously taught me how to apply theoretical accounting subjects in the corporate world. I had the opportunity to learn the processes of different industries and lead various automation projects.

What I do

Work with Advertisers and Agencies in maximizing their production budgets through production incentives.  Our team educates, informs as is the “go to” resource for this discipline.

Who I am

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.

Fast forward to 2020 when the whole world pivoted, we did as well, landing us in Atlanta, Georgia.

I wasn't looking to get into the film industry myself, but as fate would have it, that's exactly where life led me, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Who I am

I grew up in Michigan and graduated in accounting from Michigan State University.  Once I realized, well into my senior year, that I wasn’t interested in becoming a CPA, I decided to apply to law school.  After my internships during law school, I then realized that I wasn’t interested in working at a law firm.  So I decided to take the Foreign Service Exam and was appointed as a U.S. diplomat after completing law school at getting licensed.

I worked at embassies abroad, learned an obscure language (Romanian), and then moved back to the private sector in 2006 to work for an immigration law firm in Baltimore.  In 2008, film incentives started sweeping the U.S., including in my home state of Michigan.  I was recruited by Film Production Capital to open and oversee their Michigan office, providing film incentive lending and consulting, and eventually started working with incentive programs all across the U.S. in entertainment and real estate development.

In 2018, I was approached to join the Forest Road Company to help grow their incentive lending, servicing and tax credit brokering operations.  In 2021, FRC and TPC joined forces to become one of the most knowledgeable and nimble companies in the industry and I’m excited to be a part of such a large team of top industry professionals.

Who I am

I gained my start in production accounting and learned about other parts of the country while traveling on location. My favorite location still to this day is Philadelphia working on the feature film, “Invincible”. Although New Orleans stole my heart, making me a resident of that state for 8 years. I do miss the culture and vibrance of that city along with the dear friends I made. The movie I am most proud of working on is “No Country for Old Men”. Getting to work with true greatness is something you don’t easily forget.

Throughout my career, I have worked in all major production incentive territories stateside but also gained knowledge in the top filming locations in the world. I am active with the Institute of Professionals in Taxation’s Credits & Incentives Symposium and currently serve as the chair of this planning committee.

Who I am

I found my way to TPC in an indirect way.  I was born and raised outside Atlanta, Georgia (Go Braves!).  I graduated from Georgia Tech with my BS in International Affairs and Spanish, so naturally I became a billing manager for a start-up webhosting company during the Great Recession.  What a time to enter the workforce!  After a couple years, I returned to school and earned my MS in Criminal Justice from Georgia State University.  In this field, I worked in statistical analysis for the State and as an advocacy coordinator for a nonprofit.  I decided to return to Georgia Tech and complete an advanced accounting certificate leading me to a position in public tax accounting.  During this time, I focused on film tax credits and became engaged with TPC as a client.  They presented an opportunity to join as an analyst and use my skills to further their mission.  I am grateful for this indirect path that led me to be a part of this talented team!

What I do

I help steer the ship in the right direction.

Who I am

After I graduated from Providence College (Go Friars!) I moved to New York City and began my 13-year banking career.  I worked for Chase, Credit Lyonnais, and CIBC in fixed income and credit derivatives.  I started in the back office, then moved to financial controls, then to trader PnL, and after finishing my MBA at NYU; moved to the marketing desk where I had the pleasure of working with hedge funds, large corporations, and on film securitizations (a.k.a., the fun stuff).

In 2006 my wife dragged me kicking and screaming out to California.  This was a tough transition for a born and bred Eastcoaster but after one winter in sunny SoCal, I was forever converted.  Britt Fletcher, who was my mentor from CIBC, and I worked together as financial consultants for numerous media ventures and in 2009 we were introduced to Mike Hansen and we started Three Point Capital….get it, 3 partners or 3 points.

That year we funded our first NY tax credit loan for the film Ceremony (which oddly enough I’ve never seen but hear Uma was amazing in it).  Since then, we’ve grown from 3 points to 50, financed hundreds of films, expanded into commercials, brokered more credits than I can remember and have helped so many film producers and investors navigate through the crazy industry we’re in.

After all these years I’m most proud of how we’ve been able to build such a solid reputation for being dependable, fair and fun to work with.   Now that we’re under the FRC umbrella I’m super excited for what the future holds for our amazing TPC team.

Who I am

Born and raised in Southern California, I spent my early education trying every single water sport and every single art class before eventually graduating from Chapman University in 2013 with a BA in Peace Studies. (If you read this and asked yourself, "what does that even mean?" you are not alone. Think International Relations + Conflict Resolution).

I then quickly moved to Los Angeles to start my winding career path as an administrator for a private language school. The next turn landed me with a wonderful e-commerce company called Tech Armor, only to switchback and drop onto a consumer finance sales floor as a loan processor with Westlake Financial Services. All offered me very different lessons, but the common thread was nurturing my propensity for talking to and helping people.

During the height of the pandemic, I took a leap into the construction industry, where I began to really understand my value as a professional working for a very competitive masonry company. Circumstances required another turn, and I knew I found something special when I joined TPC. This is an incredible team of people with such a wide breadth of experience. The film finance industry is so interesting and ever-evolving. I am so grateful and excited to learn from this top notch team and grow in ways I haven't imagined yet!

What I do

I work with the team to help production companies maximize their tax incentives by applying the appropriate state guidelines.

Who I am

A quality-driven, goal-oriented, challenge seeker.

In 2015, I graduated from Far Eastern University - Manila with a degree of BS Accountancy. After the CPA board exam, I worked as an internal auditor for Megaworld Corporation, a real estate company in the Philippines. There, I’ve met a wonderful group of people who helped me improve myself in more ways than one. Equipped with experience in different areas of auditing, I decided to part ways with the company in 2021 due to new demands brought about by the pandemic.

I joined TPC in February 2022, anticipating new learnings from this untapped industry. More than that, what enticed me are the people I’ve met during the interviews who made apparent the company culture – progressive, motivating, and caring toward employees.

Little by little, I am seeing that the company culture is indeed that of adding value to clients while working with colleagues who you can consider as family across the globe.

From the Philippines, cheers to more learnings, good relationships, and incentives!

What I do

As an agency account executive, I act as the liaison between our agency partners and TPC.

Who I am

Born and raised in the Second City, I've always been interested in the intricate workings behind the scenes of production and the magic it brings to life. This interest is what propelled me into a career in advertising production. During my time as a producer, I was introduced to the tax incentive program and the awesome team at TPC. Seeing the exceptional work they did firsthand is what gave me the idea of pivoting to the account manager side of the business. Armed with the strong-standing relationships I've fostered as a producer and the support from TPC, the transition was seamless!

In my free time, you can find me scouring Facebook Marketplace for the perfect new treasure or on the golf course using colorful language between swings.

What I do

My primary responsibility is to provide administrative support to our Lending Services team. I am also a member of an administrative staff that is trained to assist the organization as a whole.

Who I am

Born and raised North of LA, I have strong roots in Southern California. In my early twenties, I spent three years coaching a local high school swim team in my hometown. It was truly an invaluable experience.

I decided it was time to branch out and I moved to Los Angeles in 2016. I worked a short stint in retail before stepping into a role with the American Automobile Association. During my three year tenure, I honed my ability to learn and adapt quickly to new processes and information. I also came to understand that I had a lot to offer as an employee, which spurred me to seek out a new opportunity.

When I found TPC and joined this team, it felt too good to be true. My role here is so dynamic, I am not only learning about film finance, I am also picking up knowledge and skills I never expected. The company has grown so much so fast and it still continues to do so - getting to be a part of that is amazing.

What I do

I communicate with agencies to collect and analyze materials that are needed for the tax incentive filings for commercial shoots.

Who I am 

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.

What I do

Broker & syndicate tax credits, connecting earners of tax credits with tax credit buyers.

Who I am

I grew up in New York and currently live in Manhattan. After graduating Tulane University, I worked at a boutique investment bank as a stockbroker. Soon after, I worked at Bloomberg L.P. as a core terminal sales and relationship manager covering accounts in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. After 9.5 years, it was time for a new challenge and career change. I joined Forest Road to assist in building out relationships to help grow the tax credit brokerage and real estate tax credit lending businesses.

What I do

I audit and prepare tax documentation for commercial shoots.

Who I am

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.

What I do

I do the due, the legal due diligence, that is.

Who I am

After I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, I attended Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. Upon passing the Bar in 2017, I worked for a small boutique Construction law firm, where I very quickly remembered why I went to law school in the first place – to work in film and television.

In the middle of 2018, I found myself working at another boutique company, this time in the film distribution space. I worked for two years as the Director of Business Affairs, where I aided in the drafting and legal diligence for the acquisition and theatrical distribution of about seven wide release films.

In early 2020, I transitioned to FRC, where I began working in the film tax credit space. During my time with FRC, I also worked in film acquisition, drafting licensing agreements for over 20 films. Since FRC and TPC joined forces, I have transitioned to the TPC tax credit lending group, and I could not be more grateful to work with such a talented and hard working team.

What I do

I currently work with the TPC Agency Audit Prep Team. My duties include analyzing all the transactions made to film a commercial and then deciding what can be used to qualify for a tax rebate.

Who I am

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.
