An Emmy award winning producer and published author with a widely diverse background. The combination of years of experience in feature film, broadcast television drama series, international live events, news/documentary/interview, commercial and web series production, along with international post production projects provides a unique perspective. I enjoy the ability to work in both traditional and emerging technologies, and continue to have interest in a myriad of platforms and aspects of the industry including VP, XP, XR, creative producing, television development and distribution. The variety I've enjoyed on this journey provides me insight to find creative and cost-effective solutions in this ever-changing marketplace. I'm often told by crew, creatives, business managers, account directors, and brand/clients that they appreciate my understanding of their needs. I have the ability to please people on all sides of the project, having worked in many facets of the industry.Examples of the many producer hats I have worn (a challenge for my curly hair):-Broadcast/digital/Content advertising agency Assoc.
