I have over 25 years of experience leading animation production across television and long-form projects. I began my career in ink and paint for animation commercials and moved into production at HBO Animation, working as a Production Assistant on Spawn. I went on to serve as a Production Coordinator and Production Manager at studios including Nickelodeon, Warner Bros., Universal, Lucasfilm, and DreamWorks. In these roles, I managed teams, schedules, and budgets while serving as a key communication link between creative and production leadership. My credits include The Fairly OddParents, Scooby-Doo, Curious George, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Most recently, I worked remotely as an Animation Manager for PBS, leading a small team on The History of White People in America. With limited resources, I oversaw day-to-day production, coordinated closely with the director, and helped guide a mission-driven project focused on personal storytelling, history, and the human experience.
