About

Iā€™m a filmmaker passionate about honest, visual storytelling.

I have always loved telling stories. I believe in the power of visual storytelling to make sense of the human experience. I am always looking for unique methods to tell original stories.

I am a filmmaker and producer with 5+ years of experience currently working as a Production Coordinator for a Peacock television show. I have worked with many well-known brands and companies, such as Apple, Google, Facebook, Nike, Dove, Showtime, E!, and TIME, and have experience with cinematography, documentary filmmaking, photography, production management, and video editing. I also worked for the Tiny Desk and Jazz Night in America team at NPR Music where I served as the lead video producer for a video explainer about voting during a pandemic. Before that, I worked at NBCUniversal in New York and LA.

I have also independently written, directed, and produced award-winning documentaries and fiction films that have been recognized in multiple film festivals across the country.

I have a BA in Film and Media Arts from American University in Washington D.C.

I am currently based in Los Angeles but am willing to travel for production.
