Every production has one person everyone calls first. For a decade, that was me.

What I bring

The job titles were film. The skills are not.

• Client & stakeholder management

  Single point of contact for executives, department heads, talent reps, and outside partners, absorbing fast-changing priorities and translating them into clear direction for each group.

• Delivery on immovable deadlines

  Coordinated a weekly national broadcast on same-week turnaround for five straight seasons. The air date never moved; everything else did.

• Vendor sourcing & negotiation

  Sourced vendors, negotiated rates and terms, issued purchase orders, and reconciled invoices, building supplier relationships that got reused production after production.

• Travel & field logistics

  End-to-end air, hotel, and ground for cast, crew, and executives across multiple markets, rebuilt in real time when cancellations and schedule changes hit.

• Budget & expense discipline

  Tracked spend against budgets across concurrent productions, keeping confirmations, receipts, and expenses reconciled while the work kept moving.

• Discretion & judgment

  Trusted with unreleased scripts, casting decisions, and personnel matters under strict studio confidentiality and compliance requirements.

Where I learned it

Where I'm taking it

Production work is client work by another name.

The film industry taught me how to serve clients who expect the impossible on a schedule that doesn't move. Those muscles transfer directly, and I'm actively looking to bring them to new industries. Here's where I fit:

• Client services & account management

  Advertising, communications, and PR agencies

  A show is an account. A network is a client. I spent ten years keeping demanding clients confident while the work changed underneath them daily.

• Project management & operations

  Agencies, brands, and in-house creative teams

  Fixed air dates are the hardest deadlines there are. I ran the calendars, budgets, vendors, and communication that got everything to air on time.

• Event & experiential production

  Event agencies, brand activations, conferences

  Field shoots are live events: venues, vendors, travel, talent, and a hundred moving pieces that all have to converge on the same morning.

• Executive operations & travel

  Corporate teams, executive offices, travel management

  I owned complex multi-market travel for executives and hundred-person crews: negotiated, booked, rebooked, and reconciled to the receipt.
