Southern California

Trained in journalism (both print and broadcast) my goal is to use my education and production skills across all media platforms to educate and entertain.From development advice on new productions to script doctoring and educational advice, as the client wishes. In addition I produce projects for various television stations and production entities from public affairs and documentaries to children's programming.Some recent work projects:Hillel International Ari Shavit documentary/social mediaCancer Schmancer “We the Future” adolescent cancer education program with presentation, Internet links and video prompts designed to introduce and empower adolescents to fight cancerAmerican Graduate Project: in collaboration with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting beginning in 2011 KVCR-TV with the help of freelance producers, shooters and editors, created programming “Plugged Inland” and alliances with educators, students and non profits to reach more than 18 million Southern California viewers. Despite the fact that CPB and KVCR TV chose to end the project, the freelancers and the education partners have morphed the project into the creation of a digital desing/broadcast studio at Pacific High School in San Bernardino County.“The World Through Your Eyes” a documentary that brought to more than 18 million viewers the story of a collaboration between inmates at California state prisons and the Alternative Text Production Center designed to create textbooks for blind students in California School systemsConsulting/development of various children’s projects with a specialty in international partners.

The University has amazing media resources including an underused studio. I was hired to make recommendations about how to use the assets for media outreach including the Internet.

Worked with a team of reporters of great skill to cover and understand the most important stories of the day, from breaking news to issues and topical takes on larger stories.

Managed enterprise team and award-winning breaking news coverage

The Argentine University system at the time did not offer practical journalism and television courses, so TEA IMAGEN offered training by media professionals to students who had graduated. In BA and Rosario I taught media ethics from a practical standpoint

HIT bought the company from Lyrick and I left almost immediately.

A variety of production duties included Barney Live at Radio City, the Barney Safety Video in conjunction with Johns Hopkins University, the radio program Bedtime with Barney, CDs and production duties as assigned on the PBS programs.

Worked for Lyrick Studios to expand Barney and Wishbone productions worldwide while maintaining the branding and integrity of the intellectual properties.

For WLS-TV, my responsibility in the beginning was the 4PM hour which featured many of the contributors such as the movie and food critics and the political commentators. With the managing editor, producer and anchors we determined stories of interest and use to Chicago viewers. Breaking news was a large component of the program. Later my responsibilities were extended to the 5 and 6pm programs.At KABC-TV as executive producer I managed three bureaus: Orange County, Ventura County and the Inland area. Responsibilities included both content and management.
