Am a proud Gen X, veteran Producer with deep experience balancing creative excellence and business realities across commercial, print photography, branded content, corporate, and entertainment productions.

​

Lived and worked in four major U.S. film markets and based in Atlanta for the past 10 years, covering the Southeast.

​

With hands-on training gained by working every level of the production department on large-scale Fortune 500 project and complex mixed-media campaigns am now comfortable leading projects of virtually any scope, format, size or budget.

​

I actively listen to learn about each projects goals, ask the right questions, flag potential issues, clearly wrap my head around the project big picture in order to lead all logistical operations to their best performance. Can offer creative style and solid ideas for work-arounds or solutions to issues if/when they pop up. 

​

There IS an “art” a "savvy" to successfully bringing all those moving parts, logistical operations, tech equip, materials and internal & external team together in a smooth, unified way.

​

​Collaboration and communication is king!!  Love the puzzle and love to prep.

​

Bring deep operational understanding across key technical and creative departments, enabling effective oversight, negotiation, and support—including celebrity talent, stunts, and SFX when required. Recognized for meticulous prep, good judgement, quick accurate decision making, responsive communications, strong organization, and calm leadership under pressure. Collaborative, accurate, detail-oriented, high-integrity, and known for positive good vibes and a wicked sense of humor. Trusted by clients for consistency and delivery, with a 100% track record of smooth shoots completed on time and on budget.
