And I’m dedicated to empowering aspiring artists.
My journey started at 15 with documentary editing, leading to groundbreaking work for the Connecticut Hospice. I went on to study at Emerson College, where I edited Intrepid Descent, a skiing documentary, and trained under Friends‘ executive producer Kevin S. Bright. During that time, I was also hired by professor Robert Patton-Spruill to produce over 500 episodes of Garden Girl TV.
Post-college, I connected with fellow Emerson alumna Maria Menounos, leading to my role as editor and co-producer for Adventures of Serial Buddies. When Maria and her partner, Keven Undergaro, launched AfterBuzz TV, I joined as Chief Operating Officer, spearheading digital production. I oversaw 150+ weekly shows, resulting in a staggering 70,000+ episodes.
Today, I work across film, television, podcasts, books, and digital media where I create and produce everything from short films to feature projects, scripted and unscripted podcasts, documentaries, and educational content for creatives. I’m currently a producer on The Women’s Hoop Show, covering the WNBA and women’s basketball culture, and I also work on Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade, supporting one of today’s most popular comedy podcasts.
I’m also developing an original animated feature film, The Arbiters, a grounded, emotionally driven story about power, responsibility, and collective healing in a fractured world.
Across my career, I’ve collaborated with an array of creators, brands, and platforms including The Grammys, Goop, Maria Shriver, Wheelhouse, Girl Boss, Yoga Girl, Elise Loehnen, Sex with Emily, Jemele Hill, Revolt TV, DJ Richard Vission, and many others.
