As an award-winning cross-platform producer, I have had the privilege of bringing beloved stories to life through a wide variety of platforms: film, TV, video games, mobile apps, immersive experiences, consumer products, and more. . From Barbie to Disney, Harry Potter and now Wonder Woman, I have had the opportunity to work with some of the most iconic brands in the world.

I believe that every brand, service, location, and product has the potential to be elevated through creative and consistent storytelling, and I am dedicated to helping new creators navigate the industry and turn their dreams into reality. I believe storytelling is a deep and necessary part of the human experience, and I am passionate about helping others share their unique stories with the world.
