How Can a 21-Year-Old Be an Executive Producer?

Easy: by wanting to be one for the longest time. Producing is definitely one of my strengths: I love to multi-task, manage, delegate, create and stick to deadlines, and effectively communicate. I also enjoy being creative and working with others.


One day, I want to write and produce my own sitcom. If I could learn how to be a competent director, I'd do that as well. I love comedy because I love making people laugh and enabling them to poke fun of their own idiosyncrasies; Lord knows I have a lot of them! I also dream of working with my classmates because I had the chance to work with some of the most talented casting directors, technical directors, writers, producers, stage managers, audio, and post-production personnel. At the same time, I am awed by the professionals who work out in Hollywood and hope to meet and work with some of the industry's best people.


I'm ready to take charge and conquer the world of television. Hollywood, here I come!

TV Theme Songs

I'm not going to lie... this what I do in my spare time sometimes. People think I'm nuts for liking old school TV shows and for listening to their intros repeatedly. Yet, I strongly believe that a theme song can make or break a show because of the tone it sets for the series. I've downloaded quite a few of these songs onto my iPod over the last few weeks. I still can't get "Cheers" and "The Wonder Years" out of my head. The '80s version of "Swinging on a Star" is quite a hoot, and no matter how many times I listen to the opening of "The Hogan Family," I still think it's a drama. If there's one song that really stands out it's the opening from "Life Goes On": the cast's rendition of the Beatles song of the same name. Actually, I HIGHLY recommend that everyone watch this show; it's beyond realistic and so well done; I watched it almost everyday at my internship last summer and nearly cried every time. They just don't make TV shows like they used to.
