I believe making a compelling documentary film and telling a story worth telling requires a little bit of "falling in love" with that story, if only for the time that story and I are together.
I'm an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker with deep experience in visual storytelling and mission-driven engagement. In a career that's taken me to the far corners of the earth for National Geographic and other clients, I lead every step of production - from story development, budgeting, pre-production planning, field production, editing, writing, and post, with a unique knack for breaking down complex ideas and information into compelling visual content that wins awards, drives engagement, and sometimes goes viral. Conversely, I'm a storyteller who can tease out the larger meaning and relevance of simple stories, to create inspirational content.
I thrive in cross-cultural collaborations and I believe in the power of stories to inspire change in our world.
