CREATOR | INNOVATOR | PRODUCER | HOST | DIGITAL STORYTELLER | AI STRATEGIST

OVERALL

I bring a rare combination of entertainment-industry credibility, experience, leadership, growth, and innovative know-how to build what doesn’t exist yet. My career spans some of the biggest  names in entertainment including Paramount+ (MTV, MTV2), Discovery Warner Brothers (Travel Channel, CNN) NBCU (TechTV), Disney (ABC News, ESPN), Conde Naste, Hearst etc. No matter my title (and there have been many!) I have developed and ran shows, launched platforms, created digital content libraries, covered major events, built start ups and platforms from the ground up, managed talent, teams, and created new audiences discovery methods.

Today, I bring that experience into ethical generative AI, emerging technology, digital storytelling, and next-generation content development. I view AI as a powerful tool for experienced creative pros with strong media ethics.  I believe AI is not a human replacement. CURRENTLY, I run the Music department at KLBP Long Beach Public Radio, a department I built from the ground up. I mentor/ am available to help dozens of Creators. While there, I have more than quadrupled our listenership and I am instrumental in winning thousands of dollars in funds through writing grants (which I was awarded) among other fundraising campaigns. I am also a FREELANCE WRITER/PRODUCER, having also worked for meta in the past year. Here's more...
