Roadfood Season 1 Episode 4
Aquarium Style BBQ in Chicago, IL
Hosted by Misha Collins and featuring various restaurants and local celebrities, I jumped onto this PBS project to help field produce episode 4 in Chicago. My work included talent relations and scheduling ahead of the shoot, working with WGBH team on travel logistics, all location, talent, and crowd releases, keeping things to time, driving, and rolling with the punches when schedules would change in real-time.
Working with the host, director/DP, two camera ops, and local PA and audio, we covered numerous locations all across the city over the course of two days.

Oysters in South Carolina and Maple Syrup in Vermont
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Nightwakes Music Video
Partnering with MN musician Ben Noble to create a music video for his latest single “Nightwakes” a song about anxiety and how you can feel at your loneliest even when surrounded by others. This was the very first piece I produced from start to finish — sourcing and managing talent and locations, overseeing crew and creative, crafting schedules and keeping things on time, as well as editing the final piece. This passion project holds a special place in my heart, as it was created with brilliant, talented individuals who gave their time and energy to create a special final product.

ACORNS w/ Carli Lloyd
One of three field/story producers on this shoot for Acorns Investment featuring international soccer star Carli Lloyd. Shot in Philadelphia, PA with a local crew, this was a social piece (filmed vertically) aimed at getting women to become investors. Directed and Produced by the magical Maribeth Romslo, shot by Ben Enke.
Notable facts:
2 hours on-camera with talent
With only two days before we left (and before the weekend) I filled the sudden request for a team of young girls, sourcing locally and through talent agents and managing all the communications with parents.
Although it didn't make it into the final cut, I dressed in Carli’s outfit and kicked the ball into the goal acting as her very blurry very far away double.
Tours By Joe
This video was so fun to create, working with people I loved in a city I adore to give them content to use for their small business. Tours by Joe is a local tour company offering fun and informational architectural walking tours of Downtown Chicago, lead by the secretly nerdy and always entertaining Joe. With just four of us running and gunning around the city to Joe’s favorite haunts, this pro-bono piece that I produced and edited is one of my favorite passion projects.
Great Lakes Aquarium
To celebrate their 100 years of Volunteers, Hands on Twin Cities reached out to local filmmakers to create videos spotlighting volunteers in various fields. My team chose the environment and through some research and friend contacts, we were connected with the volunteer divers at the Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth, MN. A magical day spent at the aquarium capturing interviews and b-roll of the divers and the space, I fell in love with the work GLA and its volunteers are doing to introduce people to the wonders of Lake Superior. Who knew sturgeon liked belly rubs?!

Very first production at my co-founded
Target Fall National Meeting
I have four years of experience producing content for Target’s various annual meetings including their Financial Community Meetings and big annual Fall National Meeting. Working closely with Target Creative and the company’s stores, team members, and creatives, I’ve become closely familiar with the brand, processes, and rules around Target-branded content.
From interviewing Leadership and Team Members to filming in-stores during busy shopping hours, I’ve even learned the ins and outs of their Fulfillment and Sortation warehouses. I’ve enjoyed developing my producing skills and working with friendly and interesting people: Every Target Team Member I’ve talked to has one thing in common - they love what they do.
