From over three decades in Film and TV, April was too aware that an absent Film Industry in Florida was causing a massive loss of opportunities—from departing local talent to untapped GDP and higher paying jobs.

To bring awareness and change to this issue, she created and self-funded the American Initiative for Film Industry (AiFi)—whose 5 Acts, backed by research, detail the “how” of resurrecting the state film industry.

The Military Check-off Box for Vets—in Stats

April’s idea for “The Military Check-off Box for Vets”—an optional check-off box on all federal tax returns for donations to fallen and wounded veterans and their families—was simple, yet potentially greatly impactful.

After receiving first-of-its-kind public support for it, April self-funded a lobbying campaign that involved drafting of legislation that was sponsored by senators—and introduced to the Whitehouse in July 2019 by Tomas J. Philipson.

she doesn't know the meaning of
"I can't"
April doesn’t know the meaning of the phrase “I can’t”. When something is a challenge, it just means that it may take an extra five minutes longer to complete. Her passion and her drive have made her the success that she is.
