BIO

It took me only a few short years and one great shoot to realize that my calling in advertising was not account work (something I suspected from day one) but production instead.  I transitioned into production at what was then Havas NY and stayed 7 years, producing spots for Volvo, New Balance, and Intel.  I moved over to Merkley and Partners to be a senior producer on Mercedes-Benz where I stayed for 2 years.  Life changes brought my family to Los Angeles 15 years ago.  I decided to broaden my horizons in production by freelancing in a variety of specialties including music, visual effects, graphics, and production company side.  Finding the world of post ever-changing and technically challenging, I took a staff job at a52 / elastic as a head of production working on films, long form and commercials.  I was promoted to Executive Producer, during which time the company nearly doubled in size and won a variety of awards including Clios, Gold Lions, Emmys and VFX Company of the Year.  In 2014, realizing I missed the agency side, I came over to Deutsch and have since been the SVP/EP on the Keurig Dr Pepper group and have produced award winning campaigns for Dr Pepper, Diet Dr Pepper, Snapple, Canada Dry and 7Up.  My extensive experience on both sides of the business has given me an overview of production that few other producers have – and I have the unique ability of having dealt with creatives, directors and artists all on a first hand basis.  I live in Culver City with my husband, 2 kids and 2 labradors and love travel, cooking and talking about movies.
