My feature film, Lee Fields: Faithful Man, which I directed and produced with Jessamyn Ansary, was released in February 2024 on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Google Play and similar platforms. We screened at film festivals across the globe, including our New York Premiere at DOC NYC and our World Premiere at Charlotte Film Festival, where we won the audience award for Best Documentary Feature.
That was alongside 15+ years of experience creating unscripted content for major TV networks, including TLC, Discovery+, National Geographic, HBO, IFC, Food Network, Animal Planet, A&E, OWN, Fusion and HGTV. I was an Executive Producer and Showrunner on Ciao House for Food Network, and a Documentary Producer for MAKERS, a media brand that accelerates the women's movement through stories of real life experiences that ignite passion and action. I was one of the Executive Producers on TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé franchise and I spent many years as a Producer for Food Network's hit show Chopped.
In 2017 I produced three short documentary films covering global climate challenges for former Vice President Al Gore’s 24 Hours of Reality broadcast, and I was part of the producing team for the 2014 Emmy-nominated feature doc Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare.
I'm also the producer and Co-EP of Brooklynification, a scripted digital comedy series about gentrification in Brooklyn, created by writer Christopher Poindexter and director Keith Miller, commissioned by BRIC TV and distributed by Amazon Prime.
These days, when I'm not working with clients, I'm producing a narrative feature with director Keith Miller, in post-production, set to premiere in 2025.
