Connecting, hospitality, & logistics are my superpowers.
Hey y’all, my name is Jess and I am a Filipina American born and raised in Virginia Beach, VA. I spent 8 years in Washington D.C. and then moved to Los Angeles in 2020. Selfishly I’ve always wanted to be a West Coast gal, but more intentionally, I encouraged my partner to pursue his career as a film and tv composer.
After a few years of being around industry and building up my network, I made the leap and transitioned from a 10 year career as a graphic designer to the land of music & score supervision. The intersection of music and visuals is where I belong.
I spent 2 years in sync and freelancing as a music and score coordinator for various composers and music supervisors, and most recently supported composer Chanda Dancy as her Studio Manager.
Check out my partner Ngawang Samphel who is an extremely talented composer and producer. Having a front row seat to his journey has taught me so much invaluable knowledge about the score production process.
