Senior Producer
Storyteller
Journalist
Multi-award winning newsroom leader
I am a multi-award winning and nominated senior producer (Emmy, James Beard Foundation, Gracie, Christopher, Peabody, Murrow) and storyteller with a passion for creating content that makes people think and question what they know. With two decades of experience, I thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic newsroom, adapt quickly and lead creatively.
From breaking and hard news to politics, food and culture to youth, social justice and environmental long and short form features to documentaries and multi-part series, I manage a team of producers and support while producing with care and purpose. I also have experience in brand and sponsored content for Fortune 500 companies and have traveled to every state in the U.S. and more than 100 countries.
