Archival Producer for 8 episode docuseries on the life of John F. Kennedy, to be broadcast on the History Channel in late 2023. Worked closely with production and post teams to fact-check, research, source, license, and clear about 2,000 pieces of archival material from 1917-1963. Consulted with Presidential Libraries, the Library of Congress and the National Archives, regional historical societies, libraries and archives, as well as the usual stock footage houses. Working closely with internal and outside legal counsel, negotiated contracts, helped execute licenses, researched and established fair use and public domain issues. Helped maintain a complex database with precision and diligence. Helped create rights reviews, cost reports, and network deliverables.
Summary
I am a sharp, tenacious archival producer and researcher. I’ve also produced a very successful expert medical video game, worked on set as a script supervisor, and in development and pre-production as a script doctor, screenwriter and pitch deck developer

Headed up two-person archival team where I sourced, acquired, and kept track of digital assets from 1800s civil war era to present-day news footage — hit our deadlines, under budget. Researched archival material and coordinated detailed rights and clearances reviews of the archive-heavy episode. I enjoyed digging through archives to find the perfect video or image, and my detective skills for hunting down copyright holders are legendary. Worked closely with our legal department and outside counsel on fair use issues, and developed efficient systems for tracking assets and clearances.
