About Me
I make sure logistics don’t get in the way of a good story.
I am a passionate storyteller and detail-oriented Production Coordinator with experience in documentary production, concert photography, and content delivery. Whether in the office or out in the field, I thrive on bringing compelling stories to life. Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to projects that make an impact, including the Emmy Award-winning Made with Love series for PBS.
In both office settings and on-location shoots, I can manage all aspects of production—from researching and finding engaging stories to ensuring seamless workflows and scheduling. I specialize in making every part of a production come together efficiently, ensuring smooth transitions from pre-production to post-production.
My experience spans a range of roles, including segment producing for a nationally recognized series and working on documentaries for multiple networks like National Geographic and PBS. In these roles, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in producing high-quality deliverables for top-tier networks. Whether I’m coordinating teams in the office or capturing the right moments in the field, I take pride in juggling multiple tasks while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and organization.
A series dedicated to sharing the passions of artisans worldwide, celebrating their impact on shaping cultures and preserving the rich traditions that unite communities.
As a Segment Producer and Associate Producer across multiple seasons of the Made with Love documentary series, I’ve played a key role in shaping artisans’ stories from pre-production through delivery, designing the production infrastructure for the series . I coordinated logistics for shoots domestically and internationally, including travel planning, permit acquisition, carnet documentation, and on-set operations. I built and led research teams, developed interview prep materials and script assets, managed PAs and interns, and created workflows that supported efficient field production and post. I handled deliverables for global broadcasters and streaming platforms, ensuring legal binders, cue sheets, footage licensing, and rights clearances met technical specifications. My contributions have spanned 8 countries and many episodes, including Italy Made with Love (2023 Daytime Emmy Winner), Ireland Made with Love (2024 Emmy-Nominated), and Mexico Made with Love (2025 Emmy-Nominated).
The Series
Favorite Segments
Gullah Geechee Baskets
Andrea was the first artisan I found for the America Made with Love series and I knew right away, from her family history and her passion, that we had to work with her. Working with a tight budget and even tighter schedule, I flew from Washington D.C. to Charleston and back in a single day to capture this historic craft. That left us with only 3 hours to set up, film the interviews and basket sewing process, and wrap before heading straight to the airport. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to direct and produce this segment solo, with two cameraman on this whirlwind shoot. It is one of my favorite segments in the series, and I’m so proud to see Andrea and Chelsea shine.
Baseball Bats
Pillbox Bat Co., founded by Zak and Dan was a perfect fit America Made with Love. After all, what’s more American than baseball? We were thrilled to feature this Minnesota-based business and showcase not just their handcrafted bat-making process, but their deep love for the game.
As a Production Assistant for this National Geographic Sharkfest program, I was on set help, assisting with Go Pros, underwater cameras, and media management. In the office, I coordinated and executed many detailed deliverables, including legal binders, music cue sheets, and release organization. I learned countless shark facts as I assisted the research team on fact-checking and annotating the script.
