I was on the team that crafted the story of Obama’s legacy and Trump’s rise for The 2010s, a CNN Original Series executive produced by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman.

I worked on developing story, found contributors, wrote interview questions and produced select sections while sourcing and overseeing thousands of pieces of archival footage that brought our episodes to life.

Philosophy 

The stories that make an impact are the stories that make us feel something. We connect with what we’re watching when we relate to it.

It’s my job to do just that — make you feel something.
