Creative Executive

I’ve spent over 20 years shaping stories that matter—across broadcast, streaming, digital, and live platforms. Along the way, I’ve been honored with Emmy and Peabody Awards, but what drives me most is the trust people place in me to bring their most meaningful stories and ambitious productions to life.

​

My work spans science, culture, lifestyle, technology, travel, investigative journalism, and even animated documentary hybrids. I’ve filmed in locations ranging from Madagascar to Greenland, for Netflix, PBS, Hearst, National Geographic, Discovery, Gizmodo, and Al Jazeera. In every project, I focus on finding the heart of the story, building strong teams, and ensuring the final cut lands with impact—on both an emotional and strategic level.

​

What sets me apart isn’t just experience, it’s how I approach people. Whether I’m earning the trust of a reluctant subject or collaborating with senior leadership on production strategy, I lead with curiosity, calm focus, and a clear creative vision. I’m at my best when the stakes are high, the deadlines are tight, and the story still needs heart.

​

Highlights of my career include co-executive producing City of Ghosts, Netflix’s Emmy and Peabody-winning series that blended documentary storytelling with animation; and developing original unscripted programming at Hearst across 27 media markets—work that expanded reach and revenue, while promoting the Very Local streaming app brand.

​

I believe great storytelling needs both strategy and soul. I love mentoring emerging creatives, building systems that make storytelling scalable, and helping teams evolve into their next stage. My background in English (Princeton) and Communications (Stanford) allows me to move easily between the C-suite and the production floor—always with the same goal: stories that resonate.

​

I’m currently based in California (but happy to travel wherever the story takes me), and I’m open to in-house leadership roles or fractional consulting partnerships.
