Storyboard Artist at Nickelodeon who produced 45 Dora! sequences across five seasons.

At Nickelodeon, I produced 45 musical and episodic sequences for Dora! The Explorer over five seasons. The work earned the 2025 Gracie & Imagen Awards and the 2026 Gracie Award.

I collaborated with directors and EPs on the 2024 Superbowl LVIII Dora! “Rules Expert” bumpers, which reached 1.4 billion views across Paramount platforms. I also designed a weekly production map with our Canadian partner studio that improved efficiency by eight hours per episode.

At DreamWorks, I coordinated storyboard production across episode teams for How to Train Your Dragon: The Nine Realms. Earlier, I managed campaigns and ad spend at INITIATIVE and led digital marketing campaigns at WPG AMERICAS.
