As a seasoned independent film producer with a remarkable 20-year career, I've had the privilege of creating numerous films that have topped the charts, airing on prominent networks like ABC and NBC, as well as on popular digital platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, HBO, Showtime, Disney, and Hulu. My extensive experience spans the entire production process, from conceptualization to global distribution, overseeing every aspect of filmmaking, including fundraising and aftermarket management. With a passion for exploring new destinations, my productions have taken me to diverse locations across the globe, including Africa, Thailand, Canada, Nassau, Puerto Rico, England, and various parts of the United States.
Throughout my career, I've honed my expertise in securing rebates, assembling worldwide production teams, and casting talented actors. My impressive credits include films and TV shows produced in collaboration with major studios and distribution outlets.
In addition to my film producing endeavors, I've also had the opportunity to work in various accounting roles, applying my skills and knowledge to ensure the financial success of projects.
I hold a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree from Penn State University, and I've further enhanced my expertise through certifications in Film Accounting Practices with John Gaskin and Mediation Training with Woody Mosten. I'm also Board Leadership Institute Certified and have completed the Women Moving Forward Program.
My repertoire of skills includes proficiency in Movie Magic Budgeting and Scheduling, as well as expertise in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint.
As a dedicated and compassionate individual, I'm committed to giving back to my community. I'm a former Board Member of The Greater Contribution, a non-profit organization that empowers women to overcome poverty through business development and life skills training. I'm also a member of the Global Truth Center and Women in Film and Women in Moving Pictures.
In my personal life, I'm an avid animal lover and actively support organizations dedicated to improving the lives of animals, donating both my time and resources to these worthy causes.
Early in my career, I began by working in casting and field producing live remote broadcasts for the popular nationally syndicated show Dance Party USA.
