My Story
Allow me to tell you a bit about myself. I'm Chief Operating Officer of Hull Bay Productions, where I serve as executive producer, content creator, producer, director, and editor. I am a multi-award-winning producer/director who takes pride in being a multifaceted and multidimensional content creator of projects in sports, arts, politics, and popular culture.
​
I am fortunate to have built a career in television and film production spanning 33 years. This career began at PBS’ flagship television station, WGBH-TV in Boston, and continues with Hull Bay Productions. My husband Gregory and I launched our production company in January 2015.
​
I've been recognized with 8 Emmy award nominations and 3 Emmy award wins for various documentary and production work.
​
In January 2020, I launched my podcast, The PowerPLAY Show, which has already received 12 awards, including 3 awards of excellence and 9 awards of distinction from The Communicator Awards, as well as an Honorable Mention from the Webby Awards.
​
The first film from Hull Bay Productions is titled “100 Years, 100 Voices of Faith” (100 Years100 Voices Of Faith), which chronicles the rise of Cambridge's Abundant Life Church as they celebrated 100 years of service. Hull Bay Productions has just completed our second feature-film documentary, More Than Our Skin (hullbayproductions.com/morethanourskin), a story featuring five women living with the auto-immune disease, Vitiligo, and has launched pre-production of the short-film narrative, “do you remember me?" (hullbayproductions.com/doyourememberme).
​
In 2022, I published my first children’s book, Autumn’s Adventures: The Little Girl in the Big Chair - released by Dorrance Publishing. Autumn's Adventures follows Autumn as she finds ways to help others and herself while on some very big adventures. The book and coinciding series will highlight Autumn in various stories with lessons on problem-solving, relationship building, and conflict resolution through fun and exciting adventures.
​
I am happily married to my husband and business partner Gregory of 15 years. Together, we have a blended family of six children: Ashleigh, Khyal, Jamie (deceased), Jodie, Joslyn, and Javier, and a beautiful granddaughter Autumn. We live in central Massachusetts with our rescue dog Chassy.
