About Me.

I’ve always been endlessly curious about people and culture, whether pop-culture, subculture, or counterculture, and how the stories we tell can educate, entertain, and bring us closer together. My love for production started as a teenager, watching documentaries that broadened my worldview and encouraged me to move and think beyond my immediate community, circumstances, and life experience.

 

My love for documentary film, writing, and photography led me to an education in media studies and filmmaking, and a career that’s afforded me incredible experiences across film (scripted and unscripted), television, editorial, publishing, streaming, commercials, branded content, social media, live events, product, and e-commerce.

​

Over the past 18+ years, I’ve led micro and multi-million-dollar productions, streamlined complex operations, and delivered impactful content for global brands like Netflix and Condé Nast, as well as supported production needs for local brands and non-profit organizations dedicated to impactful work in our communities. Along the way, I’ve earned trust as a leader who can balance creative ambition with operational precision, while making sure to have fun and ensuring everyone feels supported and valued.
