HOW’D I GET HERE?

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, I came to New York City for college. Originally a theater major, after my first internship in development at Bravo, I caught the TV “bug,” and set my eyes on a career in the television industry. My opportunities lead me into the world of creative marketing, and I haven’t looked back. Over the past 13 years, I have worked on numerous brands, world class IP, and heavy-hitting talent.

WhAT am i ALL ABOUT?

To say I’m passionate is an understatement. I am a firm believer that as a creative, in marketing, it is my responsibility to become the biggest fan of every project I’m assigned and figure out how to get the rest of the world to be fans too. Good ideas can come from anywhere. Collaboration is the key to the best content. And you can always learn something from everyone you meet.

Want to REALLY KNOW ME…

While at SYFY & USA, employees were paired up, and assigned an open ended project to create something that would help their co-workers get to know them. My partner, and I created this musical video for the assignment. This is a very accurate depiction of who I am.
