Bio

I'm an Emmy Award-winning producer and unscripted television executive with over a decade of experience developing original entertainment across television, branded content, commercials, and digital platforms.
As the Head of Unscripted Television at Artists for Artists, the production company founded by Kenan Thompson and Johnny Ryan, I lead the development and production of original series, commercial campaigns, and talent-driven entertainment. I enjoy building projects from the ground up, collaborating with creative teams, brands, and talent to bring ideas from concept through production.
Before joining Artists for Artists, I spent over a decade producing award-winning television, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show and America's Got Talent, creating everything from comedy and competition formats to celebrity interviews and large-scale live productions.
Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work with incredible talent, major brands, and some of the industry's best creative teams.
Whether I'm developing a new format, producing a commercial campaign, or helping launch a new series, I'm happiest when collaborating with great people and making something we're all proud of.
