She was previously a news editor for a private newspaper in Beverly Hills covering local and state news.

Derrick Deane, Fandango Content Personnel/Movie Blogger, joined Fandango in 2010, bringing more than 10 years of filmmaking and writing experience with him. A lifetime movie fan, Deane currently oversees the Fandango Movie Blog as well as the IMAX and Fanboy Fix guides. When not sitting in the dark watching films (or Japanese variety shows) Deane futilely tries to ride the waves along the Southern California coast, snap photos, embark on spontaneous road trips and compete in half-marathons. While The Godfather, Rear Window and 12 Angry Men are all favorites, he will always have a soft spot for Die Hard, Leon: The Professional and Back to the Future.
