I’m an only child—a watcher and listener. It’s in my DNA.
My family moved often when I was young—six times by sixth grade, which I completed in New York City. The moment we arrived, I knew I was home.
I graduated from Northwestern University as a Drama Major and soon realized I was more interested in the backstories of characters than in performing them. That led me to the other side of the camera.
I spent nearly two decades in live television, building a multiple Emmy-winning career. My work included Good Morning America, ABC News, World News Tonight, ABC Sports, and CBS Sports, where I became the first woman to produce a full season of NFL games.
I loved it—until I didn’t. Literally in the middle of a conversation, I had my own galvanizing turning point and left the business without any kind of plan. I’m living proof that you don’t always need one to begin again.
