my greatest strength is my ability to understand people. I used that skill to become an award-winning storyteller in the sports industry. I've worked on Super Bowls, World Cups, World Series, Daytona 500s countless other events, and the launch of Angel City Football Club.
I have always been able to quickly connect with people (even those with reputations for being challenging to work with). I treat every athlete, celebrity and VIP the same way I treat an entry-level employee: with respect, honesty, and an above-average amount of sarcasm. I believe no one is above criticism, great ideas can come from anyone, and there is no joy in only working alone.
My parents moved my older brother and me frequently, not out of necessity, but out of whimsy. We mostly bounced around California, Colorado and Wakaya Island in Fiji. My mother is a retired high school English teacher from a cattle farm in Oklahoma, who reads more than most people speak. My father was a self-made business man from Los Angeles, who was practically unbeaten at Scrabble, tennis, and pool for most of his life. They showed me the value of embracing every culture and learning from all people.

TO
CREATE,
produce, direct, and write content for record-setting broadcast audiences and sold out stadiums. My work has featured U.S. Presidents, First and Second Ladies, Medal of Honor recipients, astronauts, policemen and women, firefighters, servicemen and women from all 5 branches of the Armed Services, award-winning entertainers, and athletes who have peacefully protested during the National Anthem.
Working with the United States military is a great honor. I have traveled to Afghanistan, Korea, Qatar, Germany, Normandy and many U.S. based military installations to entertain our cadets, active troops and veterans and while putting their service in the spotlight for millions of Americans to see.
Building relationships brings me great joy. One of my most cherished bonds was formed with the back-to-back world champion U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. They indulged my sometimes unorthodox ideas and allowed me to tell their personal stories, so they could connect and inspire fans around the world. I am forever grateful for their trust and how they motivated me to do my best work.

continents, all 50 states, and the Arctic. I’ve lived happily in a variety of cultures: from a 7-mile long island without television or phones to the entertainment capital of the world. To my delight, everywhere I go sports are present.
Throughout my life, athletics have been influential. As a young girl, swimming in the ocean gave me an adventurous spirit and curious mind. I was a gymnast for 10 years, played volleyball and basketball in high school, rugby at university, and had a successful flag-football "career" as an adult (10 consecutive championships).
Sports taught me to value teamwork, believe in myself, and to manage my intense competitive nature and aggression. Most importantly, sports opened my mind to the wonder of humanity: while our bodies are physically different, every soul is created equal. Not everyone will win a race, but we must ensure that everyone gets to line up on the same starting line.
My work in sports production is thrilling and rewarding, but my next journey will be in public service.
America is my future boss. STAY TUNED!
