About Helen
I'm thrilled to be the Director of the Yavapai College Film and Media Arts Program, which is a focused, innovative and hands-on one-year certificate program with classes on-line and on Prescott Campuses. Our over-arching focus is on storytelling, and we teach skills across the media - narrative, doc, commercial and client-based video. Students use industry standard software and have access to great cameras and gear. Our instructors have amazing hands-on experience.
As my volunteer passion, I'm the Founder and Executive Director of the Prescott Film Festival, where I provide vision and direction for the festival. Details on the Prescott Film Festival can be found on our website, , or on Facebook at
My background: I'm a writer/producer and have been in the film and video business for over 20 years. I'm an Arizona native and received my college education at California State University, Long Beach where I graduated with a degree in Radio/TV and began my professional career in the news department at KTTV Los Angeles. I later established my own production company making commercials, training videos, documentaries and feature length films. My writing and production skills have been contracted by many Fortune 500 and other well known companies such as JCPenney, Scaled Composites, Kaiser Permanente and Golden State Foods. I received my Master's Degree in American Media & Popular Culture from ASU in 2018.
