Video | Audio | Branded Content

I’m a producer specializing in both talent-led and brand-focused video and audio podcasts. 

I have over a decade of experience in the industry, bridging the gap between high-level editorial strategy and technical execution within fast-paced media environments. My work has garnered multiple awards (Webby, Signal, iHeart Podcasts) and captured the #1 position on the Apple Podcast charts.

I have a proven track record managing full-scale productions, while achieving significant multi-platform reach and data-driven audience growth.

End-to-End Production

I currently serve as a Senior Producer at Lemonada Media, where I was among the founding employees. I have developed and launched several shows each year, collaborating with top talent, including David Duchovny, Jennette McCurdy, Sarah Silverman, Emily Deschanel, and many more.

My career began as a Sound Designer and Engineer at WNYC Studios and Spotify/Gimlet Studios before I transitioned into producer and management roles.

I’m also a musician, writer, and baseball fan.

Key Projects

  • I led Lemonada’s transition from audio-only to a visual-first digital strategy, overseeing the production of high-impact video slates that reached over 17M YouTube views and 275K subscribers across channels.

  • I’ve developed dozens of shows from initial concept through launch and into a regular cadence. The key is collaborating with hosts, production teams, and stakeholders to implement scalable, repeatable workflows, while balancing the unique voices of high-profile talent and brand identity.

  • I believe there is no longer a distinction between the act of creating and the act of connecting with viewers. Producers must know how to analyze real-time data and respond to increase engagement and retention. I’ve become an expert in the ever-shifting social media landscape, short-form video content, and the platform-specific tools to reach audiences.

  • I take pride in leading teams, managing and mentoring a diverse group of producers, editors, and engineers. I’m also entrusted with final editorial oversight, ensuring all content meets creative and technical standards, while balancing the unique voices of top-tier talent and well-known brands.
