I am an explorer. That is the way I see myself. And I know my purpose is to explore the world and all its contents with boundless curiosity, respect and vision. That’s my lens.

Some of the most transformative stories are those that have been overlooked or muted. I have the seasoning and strength to explore subjects I know we’ve missed and stories that have not always been given the space or the platform to shine. My role as Director is to allow people a sanctuary to explore their own narratives in a way that empowers and unites around the shared experience of just being … a human being. Because discovering someone’s story is a journey in itself and I love travelling the world and the country telling beautifully cinematic doc style non-fiction pieces for brands and nonprofits.

One of the smartest things I heard was this quote that really sums a lot up for me: “People put creative people on pedestals as if they were born with this magical talent. Being creative takes work - an imagination is developed over time by reading, studying...” I didn’t go to film school but my background includes a degree in Peace & Conflict Resolution from American University immediately followed by a 15-year journey from Administrative Assistant to the Creative Director of Marketing at Discovery Channel where I led campaigns for Planet Earth, Deadliest Catch and Shark Week. I have never lived in NY or LA but I consider anywhere from Maryland to Massachusetts my home. And my heart will always be wandering free in Zion National Park.
