Through the development of complex, layered female characters with themes of  resilience, professional identity, and emotional healing, Roma’s work connects and  resonates deeply with a global audience allowing it to build a loyal fan following.  

Roma is dedicated to elevating the female voice both in front of and behind the camera  which is why over 50% of the creative positions on Sullivan’s Crossing, including Producers,  Directors, and Writers were held by individuals who identify as female. Under Roma’s  leadership, Sullivan’s Crossing has taken the world by storm. The #1 drama series on CTV  in Canada for three consecutive years, it has also topped Crave’s streaming charts. The  series also reached #1 on Netflix and The CW Network in the U.S., #1 on Stan in Australia,  and it was one of the Top 10 series on TF1+ in France.

With positive messages, inclusive and  diverse characters, and emotional and realistic storylines, Roma’s work focuses on  community, self-discovery, resilience, and healing. 

But Roma’s global success extends well beyond Sullivan’s Crossing. She is also the  visionary executive producer behind Netflix’s longest-running #1 original series, Virgin River which Bloomberg recently named as one of the top 5 shows of the decade with 40+ billion  minutes streamed worldwide.  

Roma’s incredible success with both Sullivan’s Crossing and Virgin River has not only  revitalized the romance drama genre but has pushed broadcasters and streamers to re evaluate their position on developing and supporting female-centric programming thereby  paving the way for other female creatives interested in telling female stories.
