Über mich
I’m a two-time Emmy nominee with 20+ years of experience managing creative teams in education and training, multimedia journalism, documentary television, animation and social media. As a creative manager, I’m known for building cross-functional teams that produce high-impact content across all platforms with a focus on maximizing audience engagement by telling complex stories in exciting new ways for education, news, and media markets. As a visual storyteller, I’ve produced and directed award-winning films for National Geographic – a role that’s taken me from the lava tubes of Hawaii to the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica.
