Creative Executive

My career as a non-fiction producer has taken me across the globe: Greenland and Albuquerque, Madagascar and Los Angeles. I've created features and series about science, tech, lifestyle, food, travel, history and investigative reporting, starting as a field producer, and then as a supervising producer and creative executive.

 

The common throughline has always been my endless curiosity and passion for telling human stories in compelling and entertaining ways. I thrive on finding amazing real-life stories and gaining the trust of subjects, establishing the necessary rapport to bring their lives to the screen. I rely on my emotional intelligence, storytelling savvy, management skills, and logistical acumen to bring projects to completion on time and on budget. 

 

A seasoned creative executive, I'm a strategic partner to senior executive leadership in building brands through growing viewership and creating revenue streams. I'm adept at managing partner collaborations, working with cross-functional teams and mentoring junior team members. Colleagues often refer to me as the calmest one in the room. 

 

I recently won an Emmy for my role as Co-Executive Producer on the critically acclaimed "City of Ghosts," an animated series for Netflix. My other credits include work for PBS, National Geographic, Current TV,  Gizmodo Media Group, Al Jazeera America, Discovery, Fusion and Hearst.

 

I graduated from Princeton University with a bachelor's degree in English literature and received a master’s degree from Stanford University in Communications. I'm based in California and travel wherever the story takes me.
