I often work with our Creative Director to assemble unique briefs for multiple projects, typically happening simultaneously, which sometimes means hiring and managing freelance graphic designers, content creators (writers, photographers, illustrators), website developers, and more to produce the conceptualized content.

I spent two years as the Associate Producer for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on ABC. While on the show, I worked both in the office and out in the field. I handled high stress, fast-paced environments professionally and with a calm, but enthusiastic, demeanor. I often found myself working independently while utilizing the resources I had at every level, from producers to local volunteers, reaching out and coordinating efforts within, and outside, the community for big results. Communication via email and phone calls was crucial when working with outside vendors until I could speak with them face-to-face, as well as volunteers on the job sites in coordinating large donations and orchestrating shoots with major organizations (NBA, ABC, Sesame Street, etc).As the Associate Producer I helped organize a charity demolition derby and auction with Poison front man Bret Michaels in two days. I co-orchestrated a massive toy drive in August with the band Journey for needy children in Columbus, OH. Also, I helped create a national anti-bullying campaign and rally in Los Angeles featuring The Kardashians, a performance by Demi Lovato, and a major sponsorship with SEARS. Brainstorming and executing large-scale events is something I am both comfortable with and good at.• Brainstormed unique storytelling narratives with a close-knit team of producers, often finding creative solutions for segments with limited resources.• Fostered partnerships with major organizations (NBA, US Military, Sesame Street), brands (CVS, SEARS, FORD) or their agencies to achieve seamlessly integrated marketing campaigns across ABC’s various platforms. • Coordinated trade agreements with advertisers and served as a liaison with all involved to ensure fulfillment.

As a promotions assistant and engineer I attended station events for 5 radio stations owned by Journal in the Omaha area. Having to act as a chameleon of sorts, I found myself dressing to fit each station and interacting with listeners depending on the style of music each station played.I helped engineer live broadcasts and dealt with station operations. I made sure live shows were on air and that we didn't miss commercial breaks and station identifications.Overall, I learned a lot about radio operations and customer service.

Traveling the world with this non-profit organization, I was able to work with children to help build self-esteem and self-confidence through the use of music, dance, and theater.Moving from town-to-town every three days, for three month tours, we taught students an entire theatrical show and then performed for and with them for their entire community. As a stage director, I helped deal with contacts in each town, helping the stage manager and company manager in organizing home stays, meal arrangements, scheduling, and movement of the cast and crew.Speaking with local media, performing interviews, and engaging with students to strike up interest in participating in the workshops was very common.Dealing with situations that would suddenly arise and adapting to different environments every three days was something I embraced and learned to be aware of potential issues.

Manage the office (set schedules, bill customers, sell merch, general maintenance). Overall help with the day to day running of the dance studio and interact with clients and their children.
