EXPERIENCE
Core member of the leadership team at Level All, a stealth edtech startup developing a content-driven app for high school students and their families to succeed in college, career, and life.
As a leader within A+E Networks multiplatform content group, I developed new series and business opportunities for their premium cable networks, SVOD products, brand sponsors, licensing partners, and OTT platforms.
Prior to joining A+E, I founded the video and podcast company, Quoted Studios. Along with producing the award-winning Blank on Blank series with PBS, the studio created work for clients including Microsoft, Spotify, Shell, and Jazz at Lincoln Center.
Before taking the startup leap, I spent a decade at the top of national media, as a lead producer for Diane Sawyer, George Stephanopoulos (ABC News/Good Morning America), and Rachel Maddow (MSNBC).
