Hello.

I’m Casey. 👋

I am an award-winning video creator and people-first leader with 8+ years experience working across social, streaming and broadcast platforms. I specialize in leading teams that create highly-engaging visual content to reach new audiences.

As the first-ever head of digital + social video at The Associated Press, I lead a team of seven producers and curators tasked with reinventing AP's visual presence on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, APNews.com and more. So far, we’ve featured 200+ journalists in our work, while driving record-levels of video growth across social + site.

My previous role was at The Washington Post, where I built our social video strategy and won the inaugural Webby Award for “Best Use of Vertical Video” across all media sectors.

I was also an NBC News producer who was part of the team that launched NBC News Now (their 24/7 streaming network) and Stay Tuned (the first daily news show on Snapchat). My mini-docs and news segments were also featured on TODAY, MSNBC, Meet the Press and NBC’s local affiliates.

Every role in my career has been the first of its kind. That’s because I love launching products, leading teams and using video storytelling to build audiences along the way. 🚀
