About
I’m an award-winning digital media editor, producer, and director with 20+ years of experience turning breaking news and deep storytelling into engaging video across broadcast and social-first platforms. I bring a start-up perspective to major media organizations in the US, helping develop and scale programs, series, and segments—often under tight deadlines—while maintaining strong editorial, technical, and creative standards.
Throughout my career, I’ve led end-to-end production work that spans story development, writing, field and studio cinematography, live directing, editing, and post-production (including audio sound design and color). At The Washington Post, I’ve managed live breaking-news programming and helped launch new digital formats, and earlier I built field production capabilities at Turner Sports, including drone/aerial workflows and multi-platform content for audiences including NCAA March Madness and Inside the NBA.
