Executive Producer & Head of Growth

I find the views your channel is leaving on the table.

I've spent 14 years scaling shows for national media outlets. Now I help teams grow on YouTube.

Data journalism at The Hill

Bylined polling and public opinion analysis.

What the data says

The click decides the reach.

Packaging is the cheapest lever most channels never pull. On tastylive, crossing 5% click-through meant six times the views.
