Audible is the leading creator and provider of premium audio storytelling, offering customers a rich destination for insight and inspiration to enhance their daily lives. I enjoy being a part of an awesome team that develops compelling, original content that actually interests me. I’m blessed to say that I enjoy going to work!

Hollywood, Ca

My primary job function is to develop content for linear television and digital platforms. The areas of focus are in factual reality, docu-series, close-ended and arching competition, crime, and comedic sketch. I’ve also developed on the scripted side, producing the award winning biopic, The New Edition Story. While creativity and storytelling experience are required skillsets, programming strategy, quantitative and qualitative research assessment are equally important to the process. Also, an aptitude for evaluating production budgets, cost reports, budget reallocation and the effects of creative decisions are also instrumental functions in my position. But what sets me apart (from what?, I can't think of anything catchy) are my unique life experiences, a flair for urban and pop trends, and guts to take reasonable risks. Lastly, I take pride in nurturing our younger managers and support team members to help them take on bigger roles and grow as professionals.

As a development manager I was responsible for projects in development and current. I routinely engaged with internal departments to confirm each team’s needs were met during pre-pre, production and post. Also, instrumental Also instrumental, was to foster relationships with production companies, producers, and other key staff. The last major function was to research competitors' and immerse in the worlds of urban and mainstream culture to mine relevant and fresh programming, angles and talent. Though I began handling these functions as a manager, these are functions I still handle in my current position, again, making me a unique development executive.

While I was elated to finally make the move from music to television, going from marketing executive to an executive assistant was a pretty large pill to swallow. Though never too prideful, I kept my mind on the end game and turned a one week temp assignment into my current job! While the roles for music marketing and television development are vastly different, gaining experience in both industries was me becoming the uniquely-equipped executive that I am today. That stated, as an exec assistant I handled all administrative responsibilities and gained the specific knowledge and processes needed to operate within Original Programming. Department specific duties included providing script coverage, notes and feedback on scripts and cuts, and project research.

This job marked the beginning of the end of my stint and the old business model of CD sales in the music business. The music business was not ready to face the digital revolution. This experience enabled me to see the telltale signs of today’s evolving television industry. Though I’ve worked in marketing at several other record labels, the job functions were consistent. As a Director of Product Management, I was handpicked for the position by music producer and President of Black Music, Jermaine Dupri. In that role I oversaw the marketing efforts for recording artists and their albums and singles. Talent included Janet Jackson and Joss Stone. Marketing efforts included managing multi-platform media ad buys and marketing budgets, liaising with third party marketing and social media companies, consulting on promotional creative campaigns and photo/video shoots, and producing commercial spots for multi-platforms. I was also the center of communication for all cross-functional departments. Lastly, managing and resolving interdepartmental conflict and talent relations issues are other key roles for the job.
