| Introduction | When I was a little girl, my friends would dream of the day they would be married and have kids. I dreamt of living on Park Avenue and heading a creative company. For the past 15 years, I've been on an ever-winding path in the world's of broadcasting / entertainment and that path has lead me to living/working in Seattle, NYC, Atlanta, Columbus, Richmond, Paris, France (while working on CBS’ The Amazing Race), Los Angeles, and currently, NYC. As a creative writer/producer, with two Emmy nominations under my belt, and a show or two in development; I've produced award-winning long-format projects, and I've also aligned myself with an international company to educate people on the benefits of medical tourism. My childhood dream is coming to fruition ... I've lived on Park Avenue (albeit in Richmond, VA), and I've merged my experiences as a writer, producer, and casting director to form MENDENHALL MEDIA, INC. (Sammi Mendenhall Casting). |
