Has a degree in Science/Art, a former member of PCTV's Board of Directors for five years and chairperson for the Producers Advisory Committee. I come to PCTV with an extensive background in outreach/art that includes; CCAC's Board of Publications, as executive producer/editor, where I was responsible for producing their video yearbooks, board member of the YMCA outreach branch, Chairperson of Partners With Youth, Boy Scouts of America's Venture Crew-Chairperson/Advisor, Youth Entrepreneurial Trainer. Community Outreach Partnership Center Advisory Board Member, WQED Red, White and Rock Pledge Drive, production assistant for the Caroline Rhea Talent Search, production coordinator for PCTV's "Make The C.U.T." city talent search, member of the Community Media for Alliance, Judge/Coordinator for the National Hometown Film/Video Festival, Assistant Stage Manager for Renaissance Publications annual "Young Achievers and Trailblazers Awards". In addition to this, I have produced several programs for broadcast: Just Comedy, Youth In The 'Burgh, The Pentagon (the after affects with interviews of the 911 tragedy), Equipping The Saints, and two short mini films.

Affiliated with PCTV for ten years and an honorary member, as Director of Outreach, I work to educate and advocate on behalf of public access, making sure that the visibility and diversity of PCTV is known. I collaborate with art organizations, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, youth organizations, artists and residents in the City of Pittsburgh, guiding them through the production experience. In addition, I do studio tours, assist community producers with scheduling, technical assistances, present presentations, instructor for orientation, pre-production, electronic field production and studio workshops along with test-outs.

As technology changes and upgrades, PCTV changes and upgrades, I see PCTV in the next few years as being one of the largest multi-media public access stations in Pittsburgh.
