Bio + Work

I am an experienced digital storyteller and an Emmy Award-winning producer with an extensive background in video production, content strategy, writing, editing and research.

I have produced, executive produced, directed and scripted hundreds of videos that have been watched by tens of millions of people. I have been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards, and won in 2013 for this piece, which was part of a short series called Remembering 9/11. I am especially proud of my work telling the stories of America's veterans, including this short series called The Last Word with the last living Pearl Harbor survivors and this video and this video about the Navajo Code Talkers.

While managing History Digital, I also oversaw the digital side of History's biggest television launches, like Vikings, The Bible, and yes, even Pawn Stars. I am more proud of spearheading the creation of more than 15,000 articles and blogs about every historical topic under the sun.

Since leaving the History Channel, I've continued to produce videos for History, like this one and this one about how Save Our History is helping the 9/11 Memorial and Museum preserve the stories of September 11th; this video about America’s oldest park ranger, Betty Reid Soskin; and these about the Lincoln Memorial and the Frederick Douglass Foundation. I also have produced videos for other clients like the USO and the US Foundation for the Commemoration of World War I. I also script audio content for Alexa and Google Home, do communications and social media work for the Digital Public Library of America, and work on a variety of other projects, including the recent documentary Washington that aired on the History Channel in February 2020. 

I am a trained teacher with a master's degree from Teacher's College, Columbia University. I continue to produce history curriculum guides for the History Channel, most recently to accompany the documentaries Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Washington and Black Patriots.

Whether I have been producing videos, writing articles, or creating lesson plans, the common denominator has been presenting complicated, nuanced topics in a compelling and digestible way.
