About
I lead digital, social and streaming for News 12 New York, a live 24/7 network that brings six regional newsrooms together into one tri-state experience.
Before that, I was part of the founding team at CBSN and an Executive Producer at CBS News Streaming, running live coverage strategy across 30 platforms in 91 countries.
For the past year I've also been building agentic AI production tools that carry editorial voice and help lean teams scale their output.
I do my best work where editorial judgment, communications strategy and production infrastructure are part of the same job. I know what makes a story land with an audience that has no obligation to care, and after two decades in news, I know what earns coverage because I've been the one deciding.
