ABOUT ME
I’m an Emmy Winning producer currently living in Los Angeles, California.
A little about my backstory...
I started working in television in 2005 after graduating from Frostburg State University with a degree in Mass Communication. I worked for “The Rachael Ray Show” which will later go on to be renamed “Rachael” for 9 seasons. I worked my way up within the show and became a producer in 2009. At “Rachael,” I enjoyed many successes including a nomination for a Daytime Emmy Award for the 2013-2014 season. One of my proudest accomplishments was booking the former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama. Together, myself and Mrs. Obama’s team planned and executed 5 successful appearances on the show. For Mrs. Obama’s third appearance, I produced, and event planned a full hour of “Rachael” with Mrs. Obama in Clinton, Mississippi to bring awareness to the childhood obesity problem in America. During my 9 seasons at “Rachael,” I produced medical, cooking, fashion, DIY, celebrity and human- interest segments.
In the summer of 2015, I had the opportunity to co-executive produce an educational show for CBS called, “Hidden Heroes.” I oversaw a staff at 20, wrote the creative for over 15 episodes, supervised the budget with the E.I.C., and supervised in the field as well as post-production.
In 2016, I headed west to Los Angeles, CA where I became the celebrity producer for “The Real.” I brought my celebrity interview skills to the show along with booking and producing an on location one-hour episode at the White House with Mrs. Obama. I was also nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in 2015-2016.
In 2019, I wrapped as a senior producer at “Steve,” Steve Harvey’s daytime talk show. At “Steve,” I was in charge of producing full hours of the show from top to bottom coordinating everything from pitching stories/segments, budget, art direction, guests briefing, host briefing, etc. I also traveled to Paris, France with Mrs. Harvey to cover the red carpet of “Fifty Shades Freed” along with staging sit down interviews with the stars of the movie.
In 2020, I joined the Emmy Nominated “Red Table Talk” family as a senior producer and team leader. I oversaw a team and helped produce ten episodes of the show including the special Coronavirus episode with Will Smith which has over 113 million views.
In the middle of the global pandemic in June of 2020, I took on the role of Showrunner and Executive Producer for an all-new Millennial/Gen Z talk show called, “The Mix.” It’s a unique talk show with a co-ed panel of young black voices who are sharing their opinions on real issues and topics for the culture. Instead of a live, energetic studio show, I had to transform the show into a completely new format all over zoom, from home. The show airs live Tuesday nights on FOX SOUL.
