About me
For the last two and a half years, I worked on two dynamic docuseries as a researcher and associate producer. During this time, I gained experience in virtually every phase of production. For the first four months of my tenure on CNN's Death Row Stories, I worked exclusively on a small development team. I found and vetted stories, searched for contact information using LexisNexis, made cold calls, and requested documents from courts and police departments. Once we had a slate of strong cases, I was shifted to a production team that produced three unique episodes. At this stage, my responsibilities included planning and organizing shoots, and subsequently aiding the talent, the director, and the crew on set. Once we moved into post, I was put in charge of sourcing and licensing all archive, getting material cleared for fair use, and thoroughly fact checking the episodes.Through my most recent job, on a Joe Berlinger-led premium true crime series, I was able to build on these skills by planning more complex shoots in very short timeframes that included interview, vérité, and broll components. The COVID-19 pandemic also hit in the middle of this project, and I learned to adapt to a remote post workflow, and played an integral role in planning and executing our mid-pandemic, partially remote shoots.
