I’m currently based in Santa Monica, California producing for Wieden+Kennedy Portland, working remotely from home with my co worker, Mini Puppy (see picture).

Current Assignment: Executive Producer leading production for Old Spice, and Allstate (previously: Procter & Gamble and Turbo Tax) at W+K.

I began my career 17 years ago on the production side freelancing in a variety of roles including Camera Assistant, Grip, Assistant Editor, Production Manager, Line Producer, and eventually as an Executive Producer at a boutique production company.  My production experience has given me the filmmaking fundamentals and an understanding of the craft, hard work, and collaboration that goes into making good work.

In 2012 I made my way to Los Angeles to pursue a career as an Agency Producer at TBWA/Media Arts Lab.  While at MAL I learned the craft of the commercial, producing global campaigns for apple.

After surviving agency production 101 at MAL, I joined the film production team at 72andSunny, where I led productions for adidas, Google, and Target before moving to Portland to join W+K and the Nike team. In my first 3 years at W+K I led the production of two projects that both won the Emmy for “Outstanding Commercial” and the Cannes Grand Prix… Nike “Dream Crazy” starring Colin Kaepernick in 2019, and Nike “You Can’t Stop Us”, split screen anthem in 2021. As a former college soccer player, my career highlight was producing Nike’s 2019 Women’s World Cup Film “Dream Further” in Barcelona, starring 17 Nike athletes and an unknown 10 year old girl.

My sweet spot is production strategy, leveling up creative through execution and craft…finding the right partners, making the most of the budget and harnessing creativity through production approach, strong partnerships, and production leadership.

My passion is discovering new talent…undiscovered, underrepresented, interesting, up and coming talent and setting them up for success in commercial filmmaking through agency partnership, by building trust and fostering collaboration with my producers and creative teams.

I’m an avid cyclist, surfer, hiker, skier, and enjoy sleeping under the stars.
