After writing/directing/producing stage and sketch comedy for almost ten years, I received a scholarship to the Directing Women's Workshop program at the American Film Institute and completed two short films. After directing music videos for Mercury Records for artists such as The Donnas, I transitioned into directing international interstitials for Discovery/Travel Channel. Soon after, I went on to write & produce for the premiere, Emmy award winning season of Survivor.
Since leaving the jungles of Borneo, I have worked in all genres of alternative television. I have produced, directed, written, and or designed large format reality game shows such as Next Action Star, The Mole, Boot Camp, Trading Spaces: House Swap, and Mr. Romance to reality sitcoms such as Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant.
I enjoy creating provocative and socially conscious work such as BLACK. WHITE. for F/X and documentaries such as GREAT AMERICAN RACE TEST, for VH1. In the spirit of BLINK, by Malcolm Gladwell, this doc featured a series of hidden camera experiments that exposed the implicit biases that exist in us all.
My passion is story telling, mentoring, and running a company with deep integrity.
