Hello Tony,

I am a freelance writer/producer interested in working at TV Moto.

My television career includes ten years of producing experience for major cable networks and San Francisco affiliates.  As a result, I have extensive experience writing scripts, booking interviews, as well as directing field shoots and managing edit sessions.  I have covered a wide range of topics including travel, entertainment, and motor sports.  A story I produced for the National Geographic Channel received widespread interest from outlets such as "The Today Show" and "Live with Regis and Kelly."  I believe my skills could be an asset to TV Moto.

My demo reel is available upon request.    I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,


Jennifer Winter
