Seasoned producer with a focus on storytelling that matters and social impact campaigns that move the needle.

I am a producer, attorney and social entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience in creating social change. Under my banner, Storied Nation, I serve as a Producer and Executive Producer on films and television shows that hold promise for moving the needle on critical social issues. Prior to that, I was the CEO of ProSocial, the social impact agency I founded in 2007, helping clients like Amazon Studios, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation create deep impact philanthropic initiatives and social impact campaigns grounded in research with an eye toward sustainability. <br /> <br /> Prior to launching ProSocial, I worked as Executive Vice President at Participant Media, where I built the studio’s social action department. One of the highlights was creating the social action campaign that accompanied the release of Vice President Al Gore’s Oscar-winning documentary, &quot;An Inconvenient Truth.&quot; I started my career by founding Break the Cycle, a widely-recognized nonprofit organization to empower youth to end domestic violence, which I ran for more than 10 years. <br /> <br /> I have an extensive track record in raising production funding, finishing funds and impact funds for filmmakers as well as providing critical strategic guidance and forging valuable partnerships for some of the most important films and shows of our times. Each year I choose several films to contribute to as a Producer, Executive Producer or Impact Producer. As a public speaker, I have served as keynote, panelist and moderator at numerous conferences and events such as the Sundance Producer’s Lab, Media that Matters, Illuminate Film Festival and the Producer’s Guild of America. I have also served on the boards of Healthy Child, Healthy World and PS1 Pluralistic School and as an advisor to a number of nonprofit organizations going for second-stage funding and national scale. I am a member of Pleiades Network, an organization that inspires, recognizes, and advances women&#39;s leadership in creating a more sustainable world.<br /> <br /> Current projects include the films UnCharitable, Mending the Line and Forgiving Johnny.<br />
