Governor-Elect
Academy of Television Arts & Sciences
Performers Peer Group
My relationship with the Television Academy spans over 25 years. I began as a College Television Award recipient, then served for six years on the Foundation’s Educational Programs and Services Committee - an appointment I received even before I became an active member. As a former Filmmaker in Residence at Florida State University’s Film School, I initially joined the Academy as an Academic member. After returning to on-camera work, I transitioned to active membership, later became an Emmy nominee, and served four terms on the Performers Peer Group Executive Committee. My commitment to this community is longstanding and consistent. And I'm excited to step forward and serve in a greater capacity as Co-Governor of the Performers Peer Group.
These are not typical times in our industry. While the Academy has always been a space for recognition, connection, and education, our responsibility to performers is expanding. Spotlights celebrate us. But support systems elevate us. And we have to turn up the dial, to equip performers with tools that help them stay in the game and position them for longevity. Advocacy, in this moment, must be strategic, specific, and consistent.
From traditional broadcast to voiceover, hosting to motion capture, our performances cover a wide spectrum. Each discipline has its own rhythm and challenges. And I’m committed to amplifying all of them with equal respect and attention.
Governors are not just representatives. They are bridges between the Peer Group and Academy leadership, between idea and implementation, and between milestones and momentum.
I look forward to listening to, building with, and serving alongside our membership.
