What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead cross-functional operational initiatives where I can improve workflows, manage risk and delivery, and translate data into actionable priorities in a fast-paced environment.

At 9 Story Media Group, I direct distribution operations for its first digital streaming channel, coordinating teams and international vendors to deliver 3,200+ media assets while supporting $143M in annual revenue at 25% of forecasted costs.

I've led media asset management strategy for 5,000+ episodes, implemented software-driven workflow improvements that increased asset deployment by 75%, and identified audit gaps that delivered 30% cost savings in Q1 2024. I build project tracking tools, KPI dashboards, and executive reporting that turn operational data into clear delivery priorities.

Previously, I delivered content across 2,000+ global digital platforms at Juice Worldwide, produced 400+ hours of educational content for George Brown College, and managed advertising campaigns at The Sports Network. I'm PMP-certified and experienced in regulated, deadline-driven media operations.
