RESUME
summary
Resourceful and agile Executive Producer who lives at the intersection of production, collaboration and financial acumen. I am dedicated to the organization of creativity while understanding how to maximize the relationship between the agency and the client with patience, humor and enthusiasm.
Elevating the creative work and bringing it to life is what drives me, no matter the size of the frame in which the story is told or how the idea is sold. I have extensive experience with multi-million dollar productions, celebrities and professional athletes, cutting edge tabletop, and all forms of animation.
