My work at Nickelodeon ushered in an era of live-action hits for the network. I started as Director of Development and Current Series in 2004, and served as EIC on popular series DRAKE & JOSH, ALL THAT, and ZOEY 101. I also incubated the concept for iCARLY, pitched it to senior leadership for greenlight, and secured a full series order, paving the way for Nick’s biggest live-action franchise of all time, including its reboot in 2021. I was then promoted to VP and continued to oversee numerous top-rated series, including VICTORIOUS, which kickstarted the career of Ariana Grande, and Emmy Award-winner HENRY DANGER, Nick’s longest-running live-action series, which was spun off into DANGER FORCE and animated series THE ADVENTURES OF KID DANGER. After Nick was pulled under the Paramount umbrella, I continued to lead series and movie development, and my role expanded to include content for both linear and streaming. I spearheaded the production and launch of GOOD BURGER 2, Paramount+’s biggest movie premiere ever, as well as ERIN & AARON, which premiered in Netflix’s top 10 kids’ series. A major aspect of my role was managing talent relations, as my series featured Nick’s biggest stars. I partnered with HR to create Nick’s first youth talent onboarding program, which included a dedicated show counselor to support young talent and their parents ensuring a safe, healthy environment on set.I also devised content strategies for my series. I communicated with marketing, social, and other internal teams to craft launch plans and baked integrated marketing opportunities into series creative, resulting in additional revenue streams for the network. For example, I initiated a $300M retail program for iCARLY and multi-million-dollar music distribution partnerships with Sony Music and Walmart for VICTORIOUS.

In 2020, I collaborated with a team of company leaders to found the Nickelodeon Inclusivity Council, which sought to increase diversity hiring to at least 40% in front of and behind the camera on all Nickelodeon productions. To accomplish this, I consulted with showrunners, line producers, and UPMs to establish protocols and best practices for hiring candidates from underrepresented backgrounds. I also initiated the inaugural Nick Content Accelerator program to identify emerging talent. I recruited a team to review 2000+ submissions from unrepped writers and selected a winner for a development deal with the network.

At the Jim Henson Company, I supervised development and current series of primetime, children’s, and family series, including many international productions. I led production of 250 half-hours of JIM HENSON’S THE HOOBS for UK Channel 4, which was the UK’s largest single commission ever, and I oversaw creative direction for Emmy-winner BEAR IN THE BIG BLUE HOUSE (Disney Channel), Emmy-nominee FARSCAPE (Sci-Fi Channel), and CONSTRUCTION SITE (ITV). I also managed a full development slate and successfully pitched and sold projects to Nickelodeon, Warner Bros. Disney Channel, Fox Family, Hallmark, and other buyers. I loved my time here and feel that Jim Henson’s legacy defined who I am as an executive with a deep reverence for the creative process.

I started my career as a development and current series executive at CBS, where I shaped live-action and animated series for kids. I launched multiple series during my time there, including FRANKLIN, BEAKMAN’S WORLD, and SPORTS ILLUSTRATED FOR KIDS. I also supervised the production of a Canadian/French-produced programming block for the 1998 broadcast season, where I developed a strong understanding of international co-production models.
