Communications executive, Emmy-nominated producer and journalist with 30+ years leading national media relations, executive communications and content production across entertainment, corporate, healthcare and purpose-driven organizations. A USC Annenberg graduate and founder of Spalla Media Group, I develop media strategy, position executives and experts, and lead campaigns spanning brand storytelling, public health and awareness initiatives—bringing a newsroom instinct to work that shapes conversations and drives impact across earned, digital, social and broadcast media.
01 — Experience
My career spans leadership roles at Paramount Global, CBS Entertainment, CBS Interactive, TV Guide Network and Entertainment Tonight, working at the intersection of communications, journalism and production.
During 14+ years at CBS, including Vice President and Director of Communications roles, I led national publicity for more than 2,500 episodes of the Emmy-winning The Talk, securing national coverage, advising executives and talent, and managing communications around major events and high-profile moments.
As an Emmy-nominated producer and Social Media Lead at CBS Interactive, I developed digital and multimedia strategies across platforms. Earlier, as Executive Producer and Showrunner at TV Guide Network, I led series, live events and talent-driven programming after beginning my career at Entertainment Tonight, producing breaking entertainment news and celebrity interviews for national broadcast.
Today, I bring that experience to Spalla Media Group, leading media strategy, executive positioning and integrated campaigns for organizations, executives and media brands.
