Shari began her work in the DE&I space at PromaxBDA. She implemented several development and training programs to prepare emerging talent for the entertainment marketing industry and creative careers. She was the Program Administrator for the first-ever Commercial Directors Diversity Program; created and endorsed by both the Association of Independent Commercial Producers and the Directors Guild of America. There, she made an immersive program that provides more access and opportunity to underrepresented directors in commercial production. Currently, she runs operations for Pipelines, a mobile app and web platform that connects underrepresented talent directly to jobs and training opportunities, and companies to a vast pool of historically-excluded talent. She is a Detroit native, board member of ArtworxLA and the BRIC Foundation and on the advisory councils for the CSU Entertainment Alliance and the CA Department of Education Arts, Media, and Entertainment sector.
