Director of Content and Programming
No Puppet Productions
What was your first position in the Media Industry and what is your current role?
My first position in the media industry was as a Production Manager, Executive Producer, and Promotions-Events Manager for FOX Sports Radio, where I gained hands-on experience producing on-air content, coordinating live events, and crafting promotional campaigns. Currently, I serve as the Director of Content and Programming at No Puppet Productions, where I lead strategic content development and oversee innovative programming that aligns with brand objectives and audience engagement goals.
What inspired you to become involved in Alliance for Women in Media?
I’ve always been passionate about empowering women in industries where they have historically been underrepresented. The Alliance for Women in Media embodies a mission that resonates deeply with me—advocating for diversity, representation, and innovation. Being involved allows me to contribute to the professional growth of women in media while learning from an incredible network of talented and trailblazing people.
What advice would you give someone new to our industry?
Be curious and adaptable. The media landscape evolves rapidly, so stay informed and open to learning new skills. Build genuine relationships, seek mentorship, and don’t hesitate to take on roles that may seem outside your comfort zone—they often lead to the most growth. And above all, know your worth and advocate for yourself.
What personal or professional achievement are you most proud of?
One of the things I’m most proud of is co-hosting a nationally and internationally syndicated radio show called Morning Koffy, and co-creating a sports podcast called 1st & 10’s during the craziness of the pandemic in 2020. It was a challenging time, but we managed to build a loyal audience across 40 U.S. markets and in the UK by creating content that really connected with people. Collaborating with artists, celebrities, and entertainment brands to create impactful radio, TV, and podcast segments during such a critical time highlighted the importance of adaptability and finding genuine ways to connect with audiences, regardless of the challenges. That whole experience really reinforced my love for storytelling and connecting with people, even during such an uncertain and scary time.
