TV & DIGITAL MEDIA

2 x National Emmy Award-winning television producer and storyteller with work spanning network, cable, and digital media.

TELEVISION

I’ve spent more than two decades creating entertainment and documentary programming for broadcast and cable television. From the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony and MTV’s live New Year’s Eve broadcast in Times Square to documentaries for CBS News and PBS, I’ve had the opportunity to tell stories alongside artists including Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, Madonna and Oprah Winfrey.

UNSCRIPTED

I develop and pitch unscripted concepts, including sizzle reels and one-sheets for docu-style formats.

NEW THREADS

A half-hour docu-style makeover series that reimagines sentimental clothing as one-of-a-kind pieces. This sizzle is personal to me, featuring my mother’s dresses and my sister, who brought them to a designer to transform into something new.

BRAND MEDIA

brandnewdaydesigns was an editorial website and YouTube channel I created to celebrate beautifully designed + functional products that make everyday life happy.

As editor and producer, I developed the brand from the ground up—building the website, writing articles, creating graphics, photographing products, producing + hosting videos, and interviewing the designers, artists, and innovators behind the work.

Partnered with brands including Bang & Olufsen, Sony, LG, Logitech, Nike, Converse, Polaroid, Ultimate Ears, Spoonflower, and adorne to create content that positioned design as an essential part of everyday living.

IMPACT STORIES

Throughout my career, I’ve produced documentaries and profiles that amplify overlooked voices and bring greater awareness to the challenges many communities face. My hope is that these stories inspire understanding, empathy, and meaningful conversation.

Traveled to Washington, D.C., to interview Auden a transgender civil rights attorney, about their cancer diagnosis and the personal experiences that continue to shape their advocacy. It was an opportunity to tell the story of someone whose commitment to advancing LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities is deeply rooted in lived experience.

Loved talking to Fred. An accomplished composer and professor at NYU. Fred spoke candidly about his prostate cancer journey and the unique challenges he faced as a gay Black man. What stayed with me most was his message: educate yourself, advocate for yourself, and don’t try to go through it alone.

The Entertainment Community Fund (formerly The Actors Fund) connected me with Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow (OBT), an organization committed to breaking the cycle of poverty through education, job training, and employment. Produced this video to highlight OBT’s mission and its impact on the young people it serves.

Had to break out some vintage VH1 for y’all. Produced this profile of Three Dog Night lead singer Chuck Negron for a VH1 special on celebrities and heroin addiction. Filmed across Los Angeles and at his home, the piece blended film, video, and archival photography to tell a deeply personal story of addiction and recovery—a precursor to VH1’s Behind the Music franchise.

Rest easy, Chuck. You were a gentleman, and I’m grateful our paths crossed.
