Senior producer/director in an Emmy Award winning sports production unit. I managed a multi-year contract that includes an annual budget of nearly 1.4 million dollars. I supervised a diverse creative team that consisted of over 30 members. We all had a passion for storytelling, a commitment to excellence, and the ability to work collaboratively. As the Senior Producer, I worked with other lead producers, associate producers and staff, both internal and external to the sports unit to design, conceptualize, present and create content for a wide variety of content on various distribution platforms such as broadcast television, web, social media and live events in support of Penn State’s Intercollegiate Athletics marketing efforts. I mentored and worked directly with other production support staff, including students and interns. Aside from managing the WPSU production team, I also served as an active member of the marketing teams for Penn State Athletics. All of which happen in a fast paced, highly stressful environment that interacts daily with high profile head coaches, athletic directors and other key stakeholders within the university environment.
