The subject does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The article is sourced only to two YouTube videos, IMDb, and a page which merely mentions her name once in a credit. The first page of hits on a Google search for her contains IMdB, her own company's web site, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, a page on a web site which describes itself as run by "A small group of enthusiasts", YouTube, and Wikipedia. The next few pages of hits provide little better: the best I found was one news report in a local San Francisco Bay area web site. According to IMDb she has produced one short film of no notability (as far as I can determine), directed another short film with similar lack of notability, acted in what seems to have been a minor role in another film, and served as a script supervisor in another. The article says she is "waiting for her debut directorial venture to take off".

The creator of the article has indicated that she is the subject of the article. (On her talk page she has written "I had to create a page for myself as I am acting in Films now".) Apparently she has come to Wikipedia in good faith, no doubt sincerely believing that creating a personal profile page to help further her career was an acceptable use of Wikipedia, but in fact the article does not satisfy Wikipedia's inclusion criteria.
