As a video director, photographer, & author, I am a creative powerhouse with 7+ years of experience in film production and documentary journalism. I now specialize in managing production teams on complex video storytelling projects.

Journalism

I’m currently a Documentary Producer for Al Jazeera Media Network, focusing on long form explainer films. In the past, I have reported for NowThis in D.C., City Press in Johannesburg, and CNN in NYC.

Film

I most enjoy directing documentaries, but I have filmed and produced hundreds of digital videos, feature pieces, and short docs. For post-production, I edit with Adobe Premiere regularly.

Photography

 

Fiction

I am the creative director for Black Iris Photography, a luxury wedding production house made up of a number of photographers, videographers, editors, and contractors. I manage all steps of the production process, from building client relationships to delivering the final assets.

My unpublished YA fantasy manuscript, “In Darkness, We See Stars,” is complete at 87,000 words. I am currently seeking a literary agent to represent this work.

My near-decade of experience in documentary journalism, managing commercial film projects, and fielding VIP client relationships equips me as a strong creative director. I am a proud alumni of Northwestern University, having studied multimedia journalism and political science. I speak on panels and give talks when available. I am always open to connect with new people and consider new opportunities.
