The Highlights ✨

What do I do? 

• I craft stories that emotionally resonate with audiences across digital platforms -- from the written medium to audio, video and social content. When a story hits the hearts of its audience, they won't forget it. And that's what I help individuals, organizations, and brands do. 

• I take a concept or an idea and make it a reality via creative problem-solving, story craft instincts, and production expertise. 

• I build and lead creative teams, establishing workflows, editorial direction, staffing, and a strong team spirit. 

• I hone creative strategy via big-picture thinking balanced with an instinct for line-level writing. 

What have I done?

• I’ve worked on 6 Webby, Signal Awards and Ambie award-winning or nominated shows (History This Week, Even the Royals, Scamfluencers, I Love a Lifetime Movie, Daily Breath with Deepak Chopra, I Hear Fear). 

• I spent 3+ years at Wondery, an Amazon Company, where I developed, launched, and produced 7 different narrative, historical, or comedic shows. 

• While there, I also joined a team of creatives diving deep into the next frontier of content on platforms like TikTok, asking the question: how can we not just chase the next trend but define it?

• As a founding member of A+E Network’s audio department, I launched several weekly and mini-series for Lifetime and The History Channel, including the widely popular podcast, History This Week.

• After joining Part2 Pictures, I pivoted from my documentary work to lead the company’s first audio-venture, launching and producing two chart-topping podcasts with Deepak Chopra. 

• I built a foundation in creative storytelling with a degree from Wesleyan University with High Honors in Film.
