ABOUT:
My love of creativity combined with my passion for problem solving led me to production. As an executive producer, I have a history of award-winning, high-performing work in the marketing and advertising industry. I’m skilled in integrated production, team leadership and cost management.
I have led internal and external teams through strategic brand campaigns across all platforms nationally and internationally. As a group leader I have hired and mentored entry level producers and managed both brand and production partner relationships. I have a proven track record of cost savings through production efficiencies, streamlining workflow and cost negotiations.
Along the way I have helped create award-winning work with recognition from Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, Clio’s, Addy’s, and Effie’s.
I have had the pleasure of working on many big brands including McDonald's, Stellantis, Rocket Mortgage, AB InBev, Capital One, Kraft, Constellation Brands, Southwest Airlines, Goodyear, Kimberly Clark, Verizon, Pizza Hut, Home Depot and State Farm to name a few.
When I’m not producing content, I produce my free time - making anything creative, refining my culinary skills, antiquing and thrifting and consuming anything that makes me laugh.
