Her Story

About Rosemary

Rosemary Reed has built a remarkable career spanning multiple decades in media and production. She began her professional journey as a teacher, holding the position for six years, though she never made $10,000 in a single year during that time, which prompted her to seek a change of direction. She transitioned into radio, working in news, before moving into broadcast television, where she worked across the country. In 1987, Reed founded RR Productions in Washington, DC, a company she continues to lead today as president. Her areas of expertise include producing, directing, and writing, and she manages all aspects of her company's operations. Reed holds both a bachelor's and master's degree, which initially prepared her for her teaching career. When asked about her most notable professional achievement, she points to staying in business all these years, a testament to her resilience and dedication in a competitive industry.
