I am an award-winning producer and writer of news, documentaries, series, specials and branded video.
I'm Director of Multimedia for the Northeast region of the USA TODAY NETWORK.
I'm based in Asbury Park, where I began working for the Asbury Park Press in January 2015 as their Storytelling Coach.
As part of my responsibilities working with all newsroom departments (news, features, sports, photo & video) to improve digital storytelling, I launched a video strategy to take the monthly video views from about 250,000 to 1 million.
Ad revenue was also boosted significantly with the strategy, which was adopted company wide.
Improving the quality of digital storytelling was also key to driving growth.
In 2013, I joined NBC Peacock Productions as a supervising producer for MORE All My Children and MORE One Life to Live. The talk shows launched in conjunction with the reboot of the popular soaps on HULU.
In 2012, I led a new unit within CBS Eye Productions producing network work quality media for corporate clients. The project included overseeing the broadcast of the documentary-style productions on location while working under intense deadlines to update the programs daily.
In 2011, I began working with NBC Universal, NBC NextMedia. I successfully led one of the largest productions the unit had ever undertaken. As part of the production, she worked directly with over 40+ corporate clients concurrently.
My television career began with CNN producing hundreds of live, daily broadcasts including covering historical news events. During my tenure, I also launched CNN Quickcast, the network's first streamed newscast.
I launched my production company, Public Pool Productions, LLC,
in 2005 after winning a major contract with the U.S. Army. The contract required me to program a private military channel;
create original programs; and foster a sustainable operation that could be run by the civilian personnel I trained.
I dramatically increased the standard of production and created the No. 1 Army-wide news program.
I have been a reality series producer for shows featured on The Speed Channel,
The Weather Channel and Discovery’s American Heroes Channel.
My works have been honored with three Emmy Awards, an Edward R. Murrow Award,
a DuPont-Columbia Award and several Keith L. Ware Awards. |
