Director of Programming and Production
With almost 17 years at Salt + Light Media, Gita is one of the foundation's most tenured leaders. In that time, she's been responsible for setting the program lineup and overseeing the purchasing and production of everything Salt + Light Media has put on the air, including the network's original series, films and on-demand content.
Gita honed her filmmaking craft in her native Czechoslovakia as a producer and director. Since her arrival in Canada, she's been part of Canada's filmmaking community. Prior to joining Salt + Light Media, Gita spent several years as an independent producer in a secular media company and for just over 10 years she was a member of the Board of Directors of the Documentary Organization of Canada.
In 2005, Gita joined Salt + Light Media where she established the network's inspiring voice and a creative environment for that voice to flourish. She's committed to sharing the global Catholic perspective and telling stories that bring hope, comfort and brings people closer to Christ and the Catholic faith.
