I began my career in 2015 as a Coordinator on the National Geographic Channel Marketing team. I assisted the EVPs of Creative and Consumer marketing for three years where I developed my skills managing both internal and third-party productions. At National Geographic Channel, I became an expert at working with executives, planning, and logistics, a talent that I carried into the rest of my career as a Producer. 

Over the past nine years, I produced on the Original Content Team at Twitch and for virtual influencer @lilmiquela. I spent the last two years as a Creative Lead for the content agency, Portal A, where I wrote and directed long-form YouTube series for Target, Google, and Samsung. 

In 2022 I founded my own production company, Peanutt Productions, to further pursue my love for producing and was fortunate to produce 6 music videos for Lil Uzi Vert, Bring Me the Horizon, and Dorian Electra. 

I received a BA from UCLA and received my MA in Social Science from the University of Chicago in 2015.
