Editorial instinct meets commercial strategy.

I was born and raised in New York City, and I not-so-secretly believe that anyone living elsewhere has to be, in some sense, kidding. My love for storytelling started when The Wizard of Oz broke my brain as a kid — and it's been the throughline ever since, from directing short-form documentary at CNN's Great Big Story to leading digital video teams at ABC News and Good Morning America.

Now I operate at a different kind of intersection. As Director of Editorial Partnerships at Storyful, I work with some of the biggest newsrooms in the world — CBS, NBC, the Wall Street Journal, Nexstar — helping them think beyond transactional content acquisition toward the editorial infrastructure that actually moves the needle. The job is part strategy, part relationship-building, part translating between what journalists need and what organizations can build.

My work has been recognized with Emmy, Peabody, GLAAD, Webby, and Murrow Awards. I'm a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion in media. Outside of work, I take my sneaker collection way too seriously, consider Festivus a real and beautiful holiday, and am deeply devoted to my cats — and I don't care what you think about it.

Let's build something worth building.
