RESUME
Creative
Mission
''Creative Producer" is a term used to define the following skills: out of the box ideas and problem solving, exceptional communication skills within a networking environment, strong writing and editing, an eye for storytelling with a sharp intuitive sense, and experience with creative self starting and strategy. Having worked in the factual and digital TV industry as well as the Director's Guild of Canada for the past 20 years I encompass all of the above.
​
A leader in on set TV production and management, marketing and sales, talent acquisition, and factual TV development on an International scale, my work in the entertainment industry makes me an asset in many different capacities, whether continuing to write, produce and story edit for television, or by shifting into a more media/marketing/digital content focused arena.
