As an Executive

Currently I’m a partner at Le Train Train productions, acting as Head of Development and producing alongside Rashida Jones and Will McCormack. We have a first look deal at Lionsgate TV.

During my career, I spent 9 years working as a development executive at YouTube Originals. My focus was primarily scripted series, but I also shepherded a number of films and documentaries.

One of the things I really prided myself on was pushing the boundaries for what is expected of YouTube, championing bolder projects like On Becoming A God In Central Florida, Bodied, or our recent docuseries with Patrisse Cullors called RESIST. I’ve overseen shows Step Up High Water and Doug Liman's Impulse that pushed for challenging narratives and reinvented the film IP they were based on. When YouTube Originals stopped producing scripted series we sold many of our programs to other networks like Showtime, Starz, and Netflix. During the pandemic I had the privilege of overseeing Life in A Day 2020, a documentary about a single day on Earth with collected footage from thousands of people around the world. I'm currently leading our major artist projects, shepherding development with Alicia Keys and Migos. I also have acquired a number of films from film festivals and created theatrical release strategies to accompany the YouTube premiere.

I love working with new talent; I oversaw the YouTube Sundance New Voices Lab, and have been a mentor for up and coming filmmakers through SXSW, NYFF, and the Sloan Foundation, and have served as a juror for SXSW Film Festival, Reel Screen, and the Black List.

It takes a village to make these projects, but below is a selection of titles that showcase my work.
