With a proven track record managing $1M+ budgets for clients like Amazon Prime, PBS, and Progressive, I seamlessly blend award-winning storytelling with strategic production management. As an adaptable leader, I consistently deliver engaging, top-tier content on time and on budget.

Resource Alignment: Proven ability to coordinate expansive networks of contractors—often spanning 15+ companies on a single project—to ensure seamless, efficient production workflows on set and behind the scenes.

Leadership & Stakeholder Synergy
Film production is a highly collaborative enterprise, and I excel in bridging the gap between creative teams, business stakeholders, and demanding clients.

Cross-Functional Team Leadership: I successfully lead multifaceted teams, producers, and contractors, prioritizing clear communication and delegating key tasks to provide sustainable results.

High-Level Client Liaison: Serve as the primary point of contact for major agencies and high-profile clients, translating their business needs into tangible production deliverables.

Strategic Negotiation & Networking: Adept at relationship building, conflict resolution, and strategic planning, fostering an environment of trust and collaboration among all production stakeholders.

Whether spearheading local documentary initiatives or managing the logistics of major national commercial shoots within the state, I possess the specialized expertise to elevate Colorado's production standards and deliver world-class content.
