About

I am a freelance Associate Producer who has been with CNN for 14 years. I have been fortunate to have worked on several shows during my tenure with CNN. I am currently working on 10 pm show, CNN Tonight with Don Lemon as well as The Van Jones Show. Working on a variety of shows has given me the experience of working on both live and taped program where I manage graphics, hand out edit assignments, hit hard deadlines, manage pre-taped interviews and working with all aspects of production. I also spent 4 years as a media coordinator which has given me a great understanding of the technical side of television. I'm looking for new challenges in the ever changing landscape of television, including switching over to the digital side. I would like the chance to meet new challenges and find a creative and new path to go down. I've also started exploring a career in Voice Overs. My professional reels are located below along with the voice over I did for Austim Walks.
