I should probably add Warren Heaton to this title. Warren had been my teacher in after effects and one of my editing classes. He made some comments about his father being an FBI agent and at one point asked me if my father paid for my acting career. It was sexist to me and inappropriate. I had worked hard on sets to earn SAG. I had complained about this to DOBBS the counselor for the Entertainment Technology department. I also went to DOBBS to ask if I could retake the editing classes as the industry had dropped final cut and my training was not useless. I ended up having to go to the main campus to talk to counselors there as DOBBS refused to help me even though the teachers were OK with me retaking the classes as they understood the the problem. Dobbs never really did anything. He came into one class once to tell us he was the counselor for the program. I had to go to him to ask for assistance. When I did he looked at my record and seemed angry. I had a GPA of a 3,6. I had switched from computer web design to entertainment technology after getting a bad grade in a computer programming class. I am MENSA but can not do everything. Being smart often means knowing when to quit and knowing your strengths and weaknesses.

One day DOBBS came into my story board class. He wanted us all to fill out a form telling him what we intended to study and when we were going to graduate. Well that information is typically asked electronically every time we apply for classes each semester. I felt like he was doing this on purpose and his attitude toward me was not nice. One of the other students, female who was a friend and was transferring into CAL ARTS told me later that she did not like how DOBBS treated me. Dobbs told DEAN HEARN I attacked him. NO. I was upset but never laid a finger on him. I asked my teacher about it and he said is was personal between Dobbs and me. That teacher gave me an A. I believe I still have the emails about DOBBS from that teacher.

Dobbs by the way is a black man. I had to go to the WHITE counselors on the main campus to get the classes I wanted to finish my certificate in digital media.

I think part of this was trying to prevent me transferring into another school. I had no intent what so ever of staying in school. I wanted to work in the entertainment industry. I am an educated woman who could for mental health reason not be a lawyer. And I had a background in acting and theater and also TV acting and had worked on sets for 5 years. I had trained in script writing and reading. I had spent years networking. Here I was being abused at a community college and it was horrific to me. I had debts I needed to pay and I wanted to be healthy and happy. I was good at what I was training to do at SMC and I took acting classes at SMC and maybe that was why DOBBS was mad. The acting teachers I studied with knew I was already a trained actor. I did not take the beginner classes but more specific classes like scene study and comedy and voice. Skills I wanted to build. I had the right to be an ACTOR and a filmmaker. ACTING is a first amendment right and SMC IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL obliged to uphold the CONSTITUTION.

What is interesting is I realized this week that I describe DOBBS as aggressive and recently the person who had my twitter banned and also CAROL GRANT claim I was aggressive in 2008 when I was on sets. Carol Grant was not on sets with me in 2008 to witness how I was. I was actually though upset and in tears when I was blacklisted. Crying is not an aggressive act.

In the fall of 2015 I took FILM 32. First day of class I arrive and as I walk in this attractive woman turns and stars and me for a second then gets up and walks up to the teacher CARRASCO. that student turned out to be CARRIE FINKLEA. They had an intense conversation and during that conversation Carrie kept looking back at me. I registered her behavior as odd. The first thing Carrasco told us was there was a change in plans and that the first film we would be doing was one Made and directed by CARRIE. Carrie asked me by email to take some footage she had and turn it to black and white. I did that. I also was told the day of the shoot that she needed me to be an extra. I called SAG worried she was going to get me into trouble. It was the way she did it. I did not feel like I was doing her a favor. Her lead actress kept asking me how much acting I had done. I told her I had a THEATER DEGREE. It was this kind of behavior though that made me think Carrie knew I had worked on sets as a background artist. But she did not know I had studied acting a great deal. I started being trolled on line in May of 2014 before I was in the film classes at SMC. the first troll used a world cup soccer ball as their avatar. the only person I knew affiliated with SOCCER was WILL WALLACE who may have been a lawyer for soccer teams in SPAIN. However once I started taking the classes with CARRASCO the attacks seemed to focus on my activities with his class.

I had taken Film 31 in the fall of 2014 with flood and Carrasco came to the class while I was directing and observed our final. During my production when I was directing Flood kind of yelled at my crew. I Focused on my DP and setting up all the shots. Actually when I told Flood I was done he was kind of shocked. But I had taken story boarding and editing and knew What i wanted in my final film. I managed to get everything I needed in the time allowed. I never spoke to Carrasco when he was observing. I just remember him lurking on the edges of my set. The short I created is called “The Double Engagement.” It actually is about a woman engaged to both a woman and a man. I kind of wanted to extend the film into a movie about why women get married when it is not about love. Sometimes I think women sacrifice happiness for survival. I am not gay I just question a world where so many women are unhappy and so many people are suffering from mental health problems when we claim to be so great. We desperately have lost touch with happiness joy and genuine emotional connections.

Ironically In 2016 I received these letters inviting me into the schools honor society. I already am PHI BETA KAPPA and did not want to join.

I chose not to take FILM 33 in the spring of 2016 because Carrie was taking the class and I kind of needed a break from the stress of being bullied. I was sick with an auto immune desease. Plus in Film 32 I had written to CARRASCO refusing to attend the final because Carre I was directing. Here is that email.

I signed up for Film 33 but dropped it in the Fall of 2016. I had signed up for Cinematography and sound and realized both of those classes were to much for me with the FILM 33. Also Carrie was there and I really felt like I was being put down by her and her friends. They kept implying I should be doing Production assistant stuff. I have a problem with people trying to tell me who I am in the world especially when I feel like I am not being respected as a future actor too. I liked the project they planned to do and I received information about the project for the rest of the semester. It was about cancer and I am a survivor. I do not know though if it got finished.

IN the Spring of 2017 when the date arrived for me to pay for fees at SMC and also sign up for classes I get trolled on twitter. I am so upset by this I fill a complaint with the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office. That complaint is below. IN it I say I feel like I am being harassed on line and that who ever is doing it may know Carrie FInklea and Carrasco.

this is an email I sent Carrasco in October of 2016. I was being tortured and terrified. I told Carrasco I felt like someone in the class knew the guy who molested and the only person who was always in film 33 besides the teachers was CARRIE.

Thes are emails I sent to Carrie two in April of 6th and one September 23rd of 2016. I figured I would fight fire with TRUTH. So I told CARRIE ABOUT me. Carrie Finklea was bullying me and yelled at me and I never yelled back at her. Instead I wrote to her I was angry and justified and it was my way of saying do not yell at me I have had enough abuse from MEN. I never approached her in class in 2016. But she kept trying to sit near me. SO WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS HOW THE SCHOOL DID THIS TO ME WHEN SHE WAS COMING OVER TO ME IN CLASS. I was not going to her. I left out that I was involved with JOHN PONZIO after JOEY DOLEZAL. That was not serious. We had been more friends than lovers. In fact we were never lovers. I was angry with him for lying to me.

On march 9th 2017 Carrasco had security and the police drive me off the campus. During the previous classes he shows a film about sexual assault made by one of his former students. He would not let me talk about my experience. He also said to my face that sometimes it is a woman’s fault if she is assaulted. I received letters from the lawyer for Santa Monica college claiming I sent out 22 emails. But that was kind of impossible. My phone had died. I had to walk to the public library in Santa Monica as someone took my School ID and it was also my bus pass. I had to recharge my phone and then go to a metro stop to put money on a tap card. I did not get home until after 9 pm that night. According to my email I sent out about 5 or 6 emails unless he is counting the number of recipients. IN other words I sent out the same email to 5 people. this is me calling CARRIE a liar something CASSANDRA TAYLOR WHO TOOK MY TWITTER DOWN calls me. FRANKLY I AM CONCERNED THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT IS PROTECITNG THEIR OWN COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND LYING ABOUT ME TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. I WANT TO KNWO WHO REALLY HAD MY TWITTER BANNED.

This is an image from my email. IT kind of overlaps as I could not fit all the emails from March 9th and 10th onto one screen shot. But there are 7 emails I sent from the night of march 9th to the 10th. Only about 5 of them I believe pertain to Santa Monica College and what happened. NOT 22.

These are letters pertaining to my suspension from SANTA MONICA in 2017. HOWEVER SMA SENT ME A CERTIFICATE IN DIGITAL MEDIA IN APRIL of 2018 and someone sent the police to harass me on MARCH 9, 2018 a year to the day SMC RAN ME OFF THE CAMPUS. I honestly believe people from DC are involved in this. It is horrific to me. We are going to play GOD WITH LAURA’s life from half way across the country. I was a good student who was finally doing the things that felt normal to me. BEING AN ACTOR FEELS NORMAL TO ME. Being a film maker feels normal. I AM SICK OF THE PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE ME DISAPPEAR AND ALSO SHAME ME FOR THINGS I DID NOT DO. I HATE LIARS. I also hate people who do not want anyone to care about me but people who are narcissists like my parents. MY PARENTS WANT ME TO WORSHIP THEM and that to them is LOVE. They say they care about me but then do not want anyone other than them in my life. I need other people not them. I also do not want or need someone like CARRIE FINKLEA IN MY WORLD.

I have never been suspended from school least of all for talking about being the victim of a crime. A troll on line said what did CARRIE FINKLEA DO to me. SHE IS WHY THEY DID THIS. I AM BEING SUSPENDED TO NOT HAVE CONTACT WITH HER? Mean while I did not want her in my life or to work with her ever again. I did not find out until 2017 that CARRIE lived 3 blocks from JEREMY GILBREATHE IN SHERMAN OAKS and that she was discovered by a film that was directed by the DIRECTOR OF GOOD WILL HUNTING. Plus she had LILI BORDAN who knows BLAKE SHIELD’s on her facebook. Now I wonder if this was really about JORDAN MARKS. BUT JORDAN was also not something I did that was wrong. He came after me. He got me drunk. He had a condom. I did not really want him. I have no idea what he looks like from the waist down and frankly he acted like he was angry when I told him I was not gay. I think he expected me to throw my self at him and be all over him. I had class and he was to young for me and acted too young. I think that there is something wrong with the way the west treats women. We are the devil until proven otherwise and even women treat other women like trash when they should not. Jordan went to USC which was where CARRASCO used to teach and where the director of THE FILM STARING LILI BORDAN and BLAKE SHIELS TEACHES. Also Carrie apparently GOT INTO USC. Well I would like SANTA MONICA COLLEGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND DISCIPLINE THE REAL LIAR HERE CARRIE FINKLEA.
