Launching Wisconsin's first every 24 hour TV news network, my role can be found at the intersection of strategy and journalism. While overseeing station protocols and guidelines, it has been my mission to establish our editorial approach and forge our identity across linear, digital, and social platforms. Wearing multiple hats just happens to be my normal fashion attire. Whether developing enterprise reporting or handling breaking news, multi-tasking comes naturally. My responsibilities include managing the assignment desk and organizing logistics for all upcoming major milestones from political elections and conventions to professional and collegiate sporting events.Seeking innovative approaches for growth, I collaborate daily with a talented team of reporters and producers finding them unique storylines, approving scripts and packages, researching information, and making new contacts. Together, in less than a year, we have made this station one of the state's most watched, reliable, and progressive sources for news and current events.

As the Programming Director/News Director for beIN's English network, I oversaw everything from live events (including soccer games, tennis matches, and college football rivalries) to studio shows. It was my responsibility to determine our editorial direction, manage sales integrations, and ensure our production standards are always met.Leading a staff of 45 talented producers, editors, hosts, and analysts, being entertaining and informative was only one of our objectives. Everyday, I was looking for new ways to deliver compelling videos and articles for all audiences (linear, digital, and social). The key - being innovative, analytical, and strategic. By boosting traffic and increasing ratings while staying on budget, ours was a success story. Staffing, scheduling, handling contracts, and approving content were all part of my day-to-day responsibilities, but what I enjoyed most was building relationships with my teammates and learning how to get the most out of them. While collaboration and communication were required, leading by example was essential.

I can proudly say I was the original Campus Insiders employee. Starting with a shared vision, I helped build the first ever digital college sports network complete with live games, studio shows, interview shows, highlights, and articles. What I witnessed was incredible growth in traffic, impressions, and page views. My responsibilities specifically included overseeing the network's production and programming initiatives. From breaking news to major events, our team produced thousands of videos per year for our website, social media, and our distribution partners (including USA Today, Bleacher Report, Apple, and Roku). Coordinating with the sales department, I also worked closely with sponsors by presenting, brainstorming, and delivering concepts for various Fortune 500 companies. Even the most critical client will tell you Campus Insiders always exceeded expectations.

Jack of all trades. During my time in Pittsburgh, I produced various newscasts, numerous special reports, all of our award winning medical specials, and all of our Steelers specials.What I will most remember is field producing our 9-11 coverage for a week from Shanksville after United Airlines flight 93 crashed there.

It was a great station to learn all facets of the industry.
