As a day zero employee at Loud Speakers Network, I've had the opportunity to be involved in developing some of the biggest titles in podcasting from the ground up. Given the nature of our "small but mighty" podcast shop, I've gotten to wear many hats over the years and work closely with co-founders Chris Morrow and the late Reggie "Combat Jack" Osse and talent like Kid Fury, Crissles, Charlamagne, HeyFranHey, and Angela Yee.
Back in February of 2013, LSN didn't have a name, let alone any podcasts. Six years later, Loud Speakers titles enjoy 70 million listeners a year and have evolved from hit podcasts to top TV properties and live touring brands.
I started out as a Producer and Operations Manager for LSN back in 2013. In 2016, I stepped up to fulfill a new role as Head of Branded Content at LSN. In 2018, I relinquished my role as Operations Manager to fully focus my efforts toward branded content and development, as the Head of Branded Content and Senior Producer.
