the business of giving back

claremont mckenna college's magazine published a feature article this month about me and philanthro productions, my non-profit event production company headquarted in los angeles.  we now sit on the board of directors, but the other former co-president austin kiessig and i have been involved since philantho's founding in 2007, and we've seen tremendous growth thanks to the tireless efforts and passionate commitment of our all-volunteer staff.  austin and i are both CMC alums, and over the years, our staff has been packed with many other alumni of the claremont colleges.

when they first approached us about the article, i thought we could just send them a stock photo from our step and repeat, but it turns out, they had a vision for an elaborate "work-meets-play" photo shoot.  i have to admit, it was a kick.  my dress in the main shot is from cache, and although i loved it, i had to return it after the photo shoot.  sigh.
