Who I Am...
My career has been a path of consistent progress in the communications industry: from my university education in television and film production, to entry-level positions in media, through positions of increasing responsibility in related fields, to my current position as a Creative Director for Starz, LLC. I take pride in what I do, perform beyond expectations, and have developed the skills that make me a leader. I love new challenges and acquiring new knowledge, I comport myself with character and integrity, and at every stop along my path I have made a significant, positive impact on the success of each company or production.
During my career, I exhibited a remarkable ability to efficiently and effectively manage the people, time, facilities and money needed to complete a wide range of project types.
My degree is specifically in the field of production and my studies included communications and entertainment law.
Managing large productions is a forte because I can look at the big picture and anticipate needs and potential problems very well.
In working with a production unit, I excel at communicating plans and sharing information (before work is started) to minimize confusion, questions, and do-overs.
My specific skills, experience and abilities include:
- 20+ years working in various media, production and telecommunications.
- Seasoned in the TV business as well as branding, marketing and promotions.
- Skilled at making a product relevant and worthwhile to the consumer.
- Experienced in managing start-up media operations including procedural and content development.
- Able to quickly grasp broad/undeveloped concepts and flesh out into creative and effective tools.
- Excellent communication, comprehension, management and analytical skills.
- Levelheaded, mature and client-oriented. Low maintenance – able to proactively and independently take care of business. Leader and facilitator both to staff and peers.
- Proven track record of client satisfaction.
- Experience with all types of production and I can instantly assess the needs of any production situation.
- Able to work effectively with people who might think differently than me. I can adapt my behavior to communicate successfully with them.
- Adept at listening, understanding, and interpreting what people say/mean (even for others).
