I’m the creator, producer, and host of My Great Pivot, a podcast featuring female founders who’ve left traditional jobs to pursue their dreams, available on all major podcasting platforms (Apple, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, Panoply, etc). In the process of creating the series, I’ve developed AI-enhanced workflows to speed asset creation, editing, and promotion.

As a producer and expedition leader with National Geographic Television, I’ve trekked into distant forests in Africa in search of chimps with Jane Goodall, searched for monster pythons in remote Congolese swamps, and camped in locations ranging from the middle of the Sahara to the flanks of an active Guatemalan volcano. In 2002, I was part of the three-person crew that tracked down the “Afghan Girl,” subject of the famous 1985 National Geographic Magazine cover; the subsequent film and magazine story helped raise millions to build schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The documentaries I worked on covered a range of topics, from wildlife management, paleontological discoveries, and climate change to public health and pandemics.

As Executive Producer with HGTV and the DIY Network, I oversaw hundreds of hours of hit content annually, including viewer favorites like House Hunters International and Building Off The Grid. I also developed, identified the talent for, and executive produced the HGTV hit series Fixer to Fabulous, currently in its 8th season.
