Award-winning creative minded Senior Producer responsible for producing content across Broadcast, OLV, Radio, Digital (Web, Mobile, Social), OOH, Print, and Events/Activations. Adept at managing all phases of production, from concept to delivery, while collaborating with creative, strategy, and account teams. I love the collaboration stage and figuring out all the pieces to the production puzzle. I’ve traveled the world in order to make the most effective content possible. Known for delivering efficient, high-impact campaigns across nearly every product category. Great at client facing. I’ve worked with budgets from 5k to over 3mil, and I believe that craft is everything regardless of the budget. Always calm under fire, and I really enjoy mentoring less experienced producers. Open to freelance or full-time Senior or Executive Producer roles.
Lastly, I make a mean Bloody Mary, enjoy cooking (think Julia Child recipes) and anytime I can jump into the Pacific Ocean. I also do voiceover work.
