About

I'm a seasoned problem-solver and I’ve led production across all platforms including broadcast, digital, social, and CTV. I’ve partnered with nationally and globally recognized brands. My experience producing video in-house and as a freelancer has uniquely positioned me to understand the challenges that all stakeholders face. When I'm not geeking out over video production, I'm probably watching a movie. Or playing outside.
