I keep out of trouble - I don't get myself into unpredictable situations," Liz told us, shrugging off her passport stamps from Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, England, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany and Israel.

That many countries on an office manager's salary? It was obviousto us she had been employed by one of the foreign intelligence organizations. And in the cutthroat world of TV production, that kind of experience is vital.

As office manager, Liz is often the first person you'll talk to at AWARD Productions - and she'll become a familiar voice as you plan project logistics together. Liz formerly was an Operations & Administrations Manager for the Latin American division of CreoScitex America, a major player in the "electronic pre-press" industry. She can tell you what that means if you ask nicely.

For fun, Liz enjoys watching "Project Runway", Formula One racing (favorite driver: Kimi Raikkonen), and spending time with her cats "Cleo", "Luna" and "Dooku", whom she rescued at a local animal shelter.

Along with her husband, Nesan, a British citizen who misses the cuisine of his homeland, Liz also stockpiles imported Cadbury chocolate and Heinz Naked Beans in a "forbidden" kitchen cabinet. "The stuff in England is much creamier," she says of the chocolate. "Once I tasted the stuff, it was hard for me to go back to Hershey's".
