What is a mission? In this case, my mission would be to continue aiding membership in bridging the gap between traditional and digital journalists within our organization.

Documentary film is my kryptonite, and I could devour many titles in one sitting, which is why serving as Co-President of our Documentary Branch for the past two years was especially fulfilling. Working alongside Christopher Campbell, the Impact Award was established where we honored award winning filmmaker Dawn Porter (“Trapped’,” “Luther: Never Too Much,” “John Lewis: Good Trouble”), while ensuring that the Doc Awards came out of the shadows as the step child of CCA with a more vibrant red carpet/social media presence overall.   Our NomCom Zoom meetings were created to invigorate conversation amongst our committee to discuss and deliberate our potential nominees for the Doc Awards and were a huge hit!

In addition to serving on the Real TV Awards and Documentary Award NomCom committees, it was my suggestion to develop an app for awards season to cut the hundreds of passwords and links clogging up email inboxes. This process has proven to be remarkably successful and the perfect beginning to bridging the gap.

Going into this next chapter, it is my desire to continue the path of creating a more transparent and supportive organization, while simultaneously creating access opportunities for members in secondary markets that are not major media hubs like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. As well as encourage more global support of our woman critics across television and film. 

Thank you in advance to taking the time to read my statement and it is my sincere hope to be able to work with and for as many members as possible to ensure that our spirits are uplifted and amplified during a time when our journalistic integrity and voices are trying to be silenced.  I stand with you ALL now and ALWAYS.
