She used the knowledge she gained at TC to help create Nickelodeon Jr's Blue Clues, a children's television show, in 1995. The show received the Parent's Gold Choice Award and was nominated for the 1997 Cable Ace Award, and Emmy for Outstanding Preschool Program in 1998 and 2002. The program won the Television Critics Award for Outstanding Children's show in 1998 and 1999.
