Broadcast Experience
As the Executive Producer of CBS News Confirmed, I currently lead initiatives to combat misinformation and improve public understanding of digital media, with a focus on deepfakes and AI-generated content. I have spent two decades working in TV, producing rolling news, field producing around the world, reporting in front of the camera and launching new shows, managing high-profile talent and building teams both locally and remotely. My career has straddled both behind-the-scenes leadership and on-camera roles. I have edited investigative reports, anchored live events, and hosted interactive interviews on TV, digital and social platforms.
