Full Bio
I’m an experienced entertainment executive and dynamic team leader specializing in content creation, development, and production while serving as a catalyst for companies seeking growth. As the creative lead for 300 hours of unscripted programming, I simultaneously guide multiple projects from development through delivery with exceptional execution. I encourage thoughtful collaboration and high-level storytelling to increase viewership and create impact. I have produced content in over 25 genres, but specialize in lifestyle formats and docuseries. On the business side, I oversee multi-million-dollar budgets, design effective production models, partner with cross-functional teams, procure key staffing and cultivate relationships with industry leaders. Driven by my entrepreneurial spirit, I deliver profitable programming for some of the largest global brands. I also coach creative professionals to take charge of their career and tell their unique story to produce their most impactful work yet.
