STORYTELLER |  PRODUCER |  CONTENT CREATOR

A Little Bit About Me 

I learned how to tell stories at ESPN - what "great video" meant and how to recognize it, and how to use myself as a barometer. How did I react to or feel about a moment? Was that shot or soundbite too short, too long, too quick, too slow? I learned that my audience may have felt that way too.

Over a 10-year career, I continued to pursue my passion for storytelling and grow my broadcast and social media video production skills at Glue Advertising, Marquee Sports Network, and Chess.com.

 

This year, I supported production company, Words + Pictures, in their execution of Netflix's NASCAR docuseries Full Speed: Season 2. Currently, I'm building on my control room experience as Assistant Director during ONE Championship live broadcasts and producing fighter profile pieces as a field producer. 

My hobbies influence my work. I love (despite the inevitable pain) the Mets, a strong Duolingo day and my Preply Spanish lessons, playing soccer, a Saturday or Sunday morning Liverpool game, going for a run, traveling abroad, a trip to the Cape, skiing, playing chess, a well-played game of Codenames, reading a memoir, and listening to

the Intelligence Matters: The Relaunch podcast.
