Writer Producer Digital Media
About Me
I'm an Emmy award-winning writer and producer with proven storytelling ability and expertise in editorial management, client relations, and communication. I have specific expertise in nonfiction and informational content, from producing educational videos that teach science and technology in the classroom to creating online training courses for all ages.
I’ve guided the production of videos from their initial idea to their delivery to clients, television networks, and content partners for viewing on broadcast and digital platforms.
And I’ve worked with partners to create events, workshops, and panels. Throughout my career, I’ve been driven to use every tool I have to tell relatable, impactful stories that educate, inform, and inspire.
