I am an Emmy-nominated content creator and multimedia hitmaker.
Marketing
I spearheaded creation of impactful content as part of marketing leadership within the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, the Human Rights Campaign. I not only tripled HRC’s video views my first year but earned it multiple Shorty Awards and a Heartland Emmy nomination.
Campaigns
Amplifying memorable moments from progressive political campaigns, I created viral sensations for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run, Beto O’Rourke’s 2022 gubernatorial race and for the Human Rights Campaign’s electoral work in the 2018, 2020 and 2024 cycles.
Events
The team I led at HRC supported 30+ annual black tie galas, fundraisers and its marquee National Dinner. We created videos to show at the events, livestreamed programs and cut post-event videos from on-site captures. As an independent creator, I have contributed to AFSCME, ACLU Michigan, Equality Virginia and the League of Conservation Voters.
Video & Multimedia Journalism
I began my career as an early innovator of digital journalism, earning Newsweek the first Emmy nomination of any U.S. magazine. I launched a doc series for MSNBC, created programming for the New York Post, directed Alpha Media Group’s magazine video production, and contributed to BBC News, Reuters, Glamour, Men’s Health, CBS Local, New York Magazine and more.
