As producer of a six-part series focusing on the dark underbelly of College Greek life, I researched and booked four of six stories – which highlighted disturbing phenomena occurring on US campuses across the US; including fatal hazing rituals, sexual assaults, institutionalized racism and drug rings. I also penned network treatments and script outlines before heading into the field to direct interview and broll shoots.
Summary
As a multi-faceted producer, writer & booker, I've managed every stage of production - from pre-pro to post. And with credits from Netflix, Discovery, PBS, A&E, NatGeo & the BBC, I can boast an eclectic resume and skill-set.
