Welcome
I am writing a true crime story based on my life while married to my late husband, Philip De Massa, a controversial Criminal Defense attorney who specialized in high profile drug-related cases. Segments of this story were featured on "60 Minutes" and in more than 150 newspaper articles nationwide.
The story details intriguing episodes with the Hell's Angels, Hari Krishnas and the Coronado Company, among others. Although portions of these stories were reported in the news, the complete inside story has never been told.
My other credits include founding the America on Violence, a nonprofit organization that offered public and professional programs on domestic violence awareness and prevention. As part of this endeavor, I wrote and produced several videos featuring top specialists in the domestic violence field. These videos were streamed from our website. My efforts also contributed to the amendment of a section of the California Code of Civil Procedures as contained in Senate Bill 1939 approved in 1998.
Prior to this, I was Chief Operations Officer of Film Express, a chain of seven 60-minute photo stores. I provided the leadership, management, and vision necessary to ensure that the company had the proper operational controls. I wrote and produced television commercials for my own company.
I am a freelance creative consultant, with previous work with Asher & Asher Consulting. I am available to consult on projects that can benefit from my specialized knowledge.
