Escape from Pasadena

Corina is a photographer, writer, and director who hails from the the Bay and currently resides in Los Angeles. She was raised by two public school teachers and a loud Sicilian extended family.

Corina began her career in entertainment portraiture and advertising. Her clients include Variety, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, The Television Academy, Netflix, Disney, Entertainment Weekly, Paul Mitchell, and NYX Cosmetics. Corina has created motion content for her commercial clients in the form of commercials, interviews, and promotional content. She accrued awards for her work with actors like Viola Davis, Charlize Theron, Jim Carrey, and Yara Shahidi.

Always eager to create, Corina also makes films. Her narrative short films, Tiny Cuts, The Dark Side, Shared Bathroom, and Split Ends have screened at Feedback Comedy Festival, Indie Short Fest, Lift-Off, and Women’s Only Entertainment Festival.

Corina’s most rewarding work has been her volunteer writing and directing for Best Friends Animal Society. 2019’s Purrfection, a parody of women’s perfume ads starring kittens, caused an increase in donations and adoptions within their shelter network. And 2021’s The Ride Home, done in partnership with MINI USA, screens at dealerships nationwide.

Corina currently presides over a household with two cats, a human toddler girl, and a software developer husband (also allegedly human).
