And I’m dedicated to empowering aspiring artists.
My journey started at 15 with documentary editing, leading to groundbreaking work for the Connecticut Hospice. Emerson College was my next stop, where I edited Intrepid Descent, a skiing documentary. Under the mentorship of Friends‘ executive producer Kevin S. Bright, I honed my craft further. And, during one summer, I produced over 500 episodes of Garden Girl TV, having been hired by my professor, Robert Patton-Spruill.
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 stepped in as Chief Operating Officer, spearheading digital production. I oversaw 150+ weekly shows, resulting in a staggering 70,000+ episodes.
Now in my 30s, I’ve expanded my creative horizons, venturing into web series, music videos, films (from shorts to features), books, documentaries, podcasts, and TV pilots. The list of people, brands, and companies that I get to work with boasts prestigious names, including The Grammys, Goop, Maria Shriver, Wheelhouse, Girl Boss, Yoga Girl, Elise Loehnen, Sex with Emily, Jemele Hill, Revolt TV, DJ Richard Vission, Sweet Taboo, and many others.
