I have been involved in multimedia television since 1995 beginning my career at WPSD-TV in Paducah, Kentucky, where I started in the video tape. I progressed from a news photographer to production director, and in 2001, I transitioned to KTUL-TV in Tulsa, OK, as a director/editor, staying until 2016. My goal was create unique content while executing it flawlessly on air, which prompted me to explore new opportunities. In March 2016, I joined KRSU-TV in Claremore, OK, as producer/director, where I was responsible for crafting the station's content from start to finish. In September 2022, I returned to KTUL in a new capacity as the executive producer for the lifestyle show, while still engaging in various freelance projects. As of April 2026, I am ready to take on a new role in the multimedia world.

 

In 2017, I earned my first Emmy award for Perspectives - Jana Jae," and I have received four additional since then. I was a Telly Award winner in 2004 for "sa Extreme Makeover." My experience includes producing and directing live college, our regional music show "Studio 66," and numerous live events for the university. Additionally, I have directed and technical directed the academic game show "I Want Answers!" and freelance direct live events for both corporate and non-profit organizations, including the Tulsa Ballet, Jewish Society of Tulsa, and various Sonic ownership group conventions, as well as three TCC graduation events, utilizing multi-cam setup and live streaming capabilities.

 

Currently, I serve the Chief Marketing Officer for AFT-ID, a nonprofit dedicated to providing musical instruments to children and schools in need and advocating for the preservation of music programs in schools.
