I’m a storyteller who focuses on engaging narratives across launching spots, promos, and branded content. I’ve written and produced launch campaigns for USA Network premieres like Burn Notice and Suits, created an Emmy-nominated trailer for American Ninja Warrior Jr., and produced award-winning documentary work, while also supporting digital and social content for brands and networks. I adapt to changing tools and platforms, but the core goal remains the same: craft compelling storytelling that connects with audiences. I oversee the entire production pipeline from concept to delivery, write scripts, direct edits, and shape graphics, voice-over sessions, audio mix and sound design. I build and maintain client relationships and cultivate a network of freelancers and vendors. My experience spans across networks and platforms—from USA Network and NBC Universal to Oxygen True Crime, SYFY, BET, A&E, and more—delivering episodics, launch spots, and integrated campaigns.
