I bring high standards and deep devotion to storytelling and every team I join.
"Calm, competent and hard working. One of the best." — Tom Flynn, Writer/Broadcast Producer, CBS News
"Lisa is one of the most professional, creative, and supportive producers I know. As a Supervising Producer, she does an excellent job keeping a project on track and managing the team while providing constructive feedback to keep improving the project." — Evan Self, Freelance Producer/Writer
"You won't find anyone who works harder or is more dedicated. Lisa has a good sense of story and her edit notes are fair, concise and not gratuitous." — Gale Sargent, Freelance Video Editor
"Working with Lisa on American Justice as someone I could turn to, in both her role as supervising producer and mentor, was a blessing. From story pitch all the way through episode delivery, I honed the skills needed along each step of TV production. I cannot say enough about how thankful I am to have worked with Lisa." — Sana Keith, Freelance Series Production Coordinator

About
I lead complex, interview-driven productions that turn nuanced subject matter into clear, compelling stories.
For more than 20 years, I have guided nonfiction, digital, and long-form video projects from development through delivery for organizations including Bloomberg, NBC, CBS, CNN, HBO, and others. My work brings together editorial strategy, production leadership, sensitive interviewing, and rigorous standards to create stories audiences can understand, trust, and remember.
I have shaped work on infectious disease, technological innovation, fraud, sports, and true crime. Across subjects and formats, I help teams find the human stakes within complex information—then build narratives that are accurate, accessible, and emotionally resonant.
My process begins well before production. I immerse myself in source material, identify the voices a story needs, conduct pre-interviews, and pressure-test story structure for gaps. That preparation builds the editorial foundation for focused productions, stronger interviews, and more effective collaboration across executives, talent, crews, editors, and legal and standards partners.
As a senior producer, I lead projects from concept through completion: aligning creative and stakeholder goals, directing field and post-production work, guiding teams through competing priorities, and delivering polished content under demanding timelines.
