At Hackster.io, an Avnet company, I lead media strategy across video, editorial, newsletters, social, livestreams and podcasts. I moved Hackster News toward short-form video and launched Hardwired by Hackster; its pilot earned a full-season commitment from a major industry partner.

At Sunlight Entertainment, I led creative development and growth strategy for Ryan's World, Kaji Family and The Studio Space. Combined views grew from 64.5B to 76.6B, and programming I pitched earned five series greenlights.

Earlier at Little Dot Studios, I pitched and launched Spark's Explain That! science series and Earth Stories, an eco-conscious documentary channel. Original content I made for Spark's TikTok brought more than 1.3M views in its first month.

My work also includes BBC drama editing, documentary directing and screenwriting. I trained in BBC drama editing, and my screenwriting has placed in competitions and labs.
