About

I'm a passionate storyteller with over a decade of experience creating impactful, engaging content and conversations featuring everyone from renowned business leaders to celebrities—covering a wide range of topics, from politics and business to sports, television, and film. At CNN, I produced high-profile segments for NewsNight with Abby Phillip and Don Lemon Tonight, helping drive coverage of major national events including the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the death of O.J. Simpson, Donald Trump’s New York hush money trial, and the 2024 election. I also supported the production of special programming like CNN’s King Charles limited series featuring Gayle King and Charles Barkley. Previously, at CNBC’s Closing Bell, I produced dynamic business and market segments featuring influential voices such as Netflix Co-Founder Marc Randolph, Vogue’s Anna Wintour, and entertainment and business leaders like Tracee Ellis Ross, Pharrell Williams, and Ciara. My work also contributed to impactful programming initiatives like The Path Forward: Race & Opportunity in America and 2020 Election Night coverage. In addition to my newsroom experience, I created and executive produced the short film Dating Daze, managing a bi-coastal production team to spotlight authentic narratives around Black love and relationships — from development and post-production to event promotion and audience engagement. At the core of my work is a commitment to producing powerful, inclusive storytelling that resonates across platforms. I'm a proud graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Journalism, recognized with the Excellence in Broadcast Journalism award by the MU chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists. Outside of work, I enjoy mentoring fellow professionals, volunteering, traveling and attending live concerts.
