I shaped the series from its conception, acting as a journalist, director, editor, and script- writer. America From Scratch is a youtube show by PBS Digital Studios, that asks, “what would our country be like if we made it today?” Over the course of the first season, the series received 2 regional Emmys®, 3 Telly awards, and millions of views. www.pbs.org/americafromscratch

I am the producer and creator of Sound Field, a youtube series by PBS that teaches music theory through pop culture. I conceptualized this show by creating the format, casting the hosts, and overseeing branding. Sound Field is music education with diversity and inclusion built into the identity of the series. Every day I work with artists in the music industry by creating documentaries about unique musical cultures and underrepresented voices. Our mission is to give credit where credit is due. This show has been growing fast, earning over 208,000 subscribers and 10 million views. We’ve also earned 3 Webbys and 6 Tellys.

I am currently the lead producer on two youtube series for PBS covering both politics and music. My job puts me somewhere inbetween the line of journalist and artist as I research stories, write episodes, direct the hosts, and edit the final video. I want to continue to create work that challenges me both intellectually and creatively.

Created corporate videos for an insurance ratings company. Ran an uplink studio in West Palm Beach during the 2016 presidential election.
