About

With a robust educational background in Media Management and Marketing from Miami University and specialized training in Disney Management Style through the Walt Disney World College Program, I have cultivated a dynamic career in the entertainment industry. My professional journey spans over two decades at SHOWTIME, where I have held pivotal roles such as Director of Distribution (Affiliate Sales), Manager/Senior Manager of Accounts/Distribution, and Senior Manager of Point of Sale. In these positions, I have excelled in managing relationships with distribution partners, negotiating contracts, overseeing account management, and optimizing sales operations. Prior to my tenure at SHOWTIME, I served as Executive VP and COO at Universal Training Concepts, where I was instrumental in strategic planning and business development. My extensive experience underscores my ability to drive sales growth and ensure client satisfaction in highly competitive environments.
