The Executive Producer In Action

During a Taping of "Speechless"

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!

Keeping Up Appearances

"The Bouquet residence, lady of the house speaking!"

I love "Keeping Up Appearances," as well as many other Britcoms. I owe my appreciation of these classic shows to my grandmother, who first introduced them to me a few years ago. In addition to KUA, I also enjoy "As Time Goes By," "Fawlty Towers," "Waiting for God," and the Inspector Morse/Lynde/Miss Marple mysteries. One day, I want to start watching "Upstairs, Downstairs."

KUA, though 20 years old, doesn't age. I just hosted a marathon with a friend last night, and we were laughing at every episode. Hyacinth's determination to have her name (Bucket) be pronounced Bouquet and to mingle and become a part of aristocratic society is sheer gold because Patricia Routledge plays her with comic genius. All of the characters are great, including man-hungry Rose, clumsy Elizabeth, and Hyacinth-fearing Emmet.

I hope Patricia Routledge is around for a long time; I would love to do a scene with her. While I own all the KUA episodes, I'm grateful that PBS continues to air the series weekly.
