She has worked as a producer with public television, including South Carolina ETV (PBS), WETA (PBS), and most recently, MHz NETWORKS. She has won three NATAS-DC Emmy Awards for her work, including one for Best Documentary.

What's your "uniform?”
Jeans with a great sweater/top. It’s comfortable to be in while editing films at my desk, and flexible for being around kids with tomato sauce hands and runny noses. I can dress it up on short notice with a nice pair of boots and some jewelry.

What is your secret fashion sin ?
My pajamas. I have a huge XXL t-shirt that my friend gave me from a press junket years ago that is incredibly soft and comfy to sleep in. It’s from the movie “Booty Call” and says so right on the front. I actually had to go to the emergency room one night during my last pregnancy with a severe nosebleed and was hysterical when I realized that’s what I was wearing! I swore never to wear it again, but old habits die hard…

What's your favorite current fashion bargain? Banana Republic Petites on sale.

What's your favorite fashion splurge? Make-up. I love Trish McEvoy products and MAC’s eyeshadow in Jest—I always get compliments when I wear them.


What are your favorite stores?
Nordstrom Petites, Banana Republic Petites, and Bloomingdale’s Petites.

What do you see as your biggest shopping challenge?
With two small kids at home along with running my own business, there’s not much time to shop.

What’s your beauty secret?
My Mom has always been a big proponent of staying out of the sun and wearing sunscreen. She’s 63 and looks like she could be in her 40’s. So I’ve tried to follow her advice.
