About

I'm proud to be Creative Director at America's fastest growing cable news network, NewsNation! Previously, I had been the VP of Creative Services for KTVT/CBS 11 and KTXA/TXA 21 in Dallas-Fort Worth for nearly 20 years. In 2007 I also served as VP of Creative for Edge Creative in Burbank, California. Prior to that I worked at WJLA (ABC) in Washington DC from 1998-2003 as Creative Services Director. From 1993-1998, I was Director of Creative Services at KATV (ABC) in Little Rock. As a brand and content specialist, I enjoy tackling every new project from concept to final edit...and everything in between. Creative problem solving and execution are my strengths and generating new ideas for brand and revenue are my forte'. Sharing my knowledge with my team and others is also a passion of mine and that's why I speak regularly at local universities and even teach as an Adjunct Professor at the University of North Texas. I'm honored to have received 30 Regional Emmy awards for my creative as well as a handful of Promax Gold awards, an ABC ACE award and two CBS Eye of Excellence honors.
