As a passionate and constant voice of Television Production, I am both involved in the media/entertainment industry and independent horror film. Graduating from Savannah College of Art and Design; and studying video and multimedia, made me jump into this field, and count over 20 years of experience. In 2001 and 2002, I interned with CNN, while shadowing producers, who enriched my creativity and trained me to be punctual and skillful in project development. Following this, I landed a position as a log coordinator with Turner Network Television in the television programming division. At the same time, I worked as a Production Assistant on the set of Turner Classic Movies. Such undertaking inspired me to write and produce my own TV Show for Cable Television where I grew professionally even more by managing a production crew and hiring a TV host. I had the opportunity of a lifetime to land a job as a voice Talent with NHK English Radio, a leading Japanese radio and TV station, when moving to Tokyo (November 2004) to become an ESL Instructor. Again, in Tokyo, I started my own production company called Movie Mad Entertainment, LLC, which has produced short films and a TV series that showcased artists residing in Japan. My projects have been selected and screened at the New York Independent Film Festival, The Pumelo International Film Festival, The Urban MediaMakers Film Festival, and The Tokyo Design Festa. Upon my return to the United States, I continued to work in production and my current project is a mini-series which deals with a very common issue, Battered Woman Syndrome. Proudly mentioning here my short film "Mr. Big Shot", which won the best film and the best sound for the "Make a Movie in a Month" competition. The film was also the official selection screened at the Wheaton Film Festival. I am currently producing a travel destination series called Hidden Gems in the Nation's Capital.
