      • Jan 2017 - May 2018

      2014 – 2018: I created a bridge between New Wave’s strength, comedy, and prime-time series television. I developed buzz-worthy television with iconic celebrities such as Kevin Hart, Craig Ferguson, Zac Efron, and Anthony Anderson for networks that needed to push the envelope in their programming. After succeeding in selling comedy series, I expanded into other genres and formats, such as documentary specials, reality, and docu-series. I also managed and built new relationships with television and digital channels that did not previously exist with New Wave, and sold five series to these channels. Show less
