ABOUT ME
Filmmaker . Producer
Whether it's a documentary, a feature, photograph or the written word - I specialize in illuminating the unique aspects of a story that others may skim over. I approach topics with empathy, curiosity and professionalism. My goal is for the viewer to share a deep connection and sense of curiosity with the subject, forgetting that any other person was ever involved in bringing the story to life.
My work has received many awards and garnered much attention. In 2016, I received an Emmy award for Outstanding Feature in a News Magazine. I have received Three medals at the 2016 New York Festivals International TV & Film Awards Competition. In 2018, my work received three more medals.
