profile
​
As senior manager of production and editorial with Aperture and Underknown, the creators of What If, How to Survive, Crazy Creatures and Your Body On, I oversaw digital content that garnered billions of watched minutes, with high retention rates, CPMs and CTR.
Prior to that, I spent over a decade in the national broadcast community as a producer and director creating award winning factual content on time and on budget – across media platforms. My passion is to develop stories that matter in order to engage and entertain audiences.
​
I'm a freelancer for hire. From producing podcasts, to directing and editing factual content, to senior producing talk shows and being a team lead in newsrooms - I love every aspect of storytelling. With strong editorial skills and a proven track record for creativity and problem solving on the go - this combination of skills is embedded in my DNA and is likely at the core of every good producer and communicator.
​
The ideal job... directing and field producing short factual content and long format documentaries. I'm that experienced set of hands that a production company can bring on-board to get the best footage and interviews regardless of the setting, location and circumstances.
I can guarantee a compelling story.
​
As a science and technology broadcaster, with Discovery Channel, I have created hundreds of hours of content. Some of these stories won awards but all of them taught me something about the resilience of the human spirit and overcoming insurmountable odds. Throughout my career, I've developed a strong skill set as a storyteller. I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and a passion to inform, engage and entertain with meaningful stories that provoke and resonate.
