I am an Emmy winning video journalist and editor.  

I love to see what's on the other side of the wall. To hear words that shatter all preconceptions.  To find connection where all hope seems lost. I am gritty and I do whatever it takes to "get the shot."

I am humbled to be allowed into people's journeys of pain and courage, their intimate spaces, and their attempts to survive or build a better existence. This profession gives me a chance to share these experiences with the world, in an effort for us all to understand one another just a little bit more.  

I specialize in telling stories of social justice issues, people marginalized or misunderstood and the unknown. I have a talent for finding unusual angles and perspectives often overlooked.  

I am also very adventurous and I love stories that are difficult to get, climbing 100 feet into a tree or trekking through the wilderness.  I thrive off getting dirty and risk-taking.  

 I've created news pieces, profile pieces, long-form, human-centered, inspirational stories as well as promotional films and marketing videos.

I have nearly 15 years of professional experience producing, shooting, editing, and directing video.

Raised in Sacramento, California, my love for cinematography started at just the age of 17 as a skateboarder. My friends and I would shoot video of each other on our skateboards using a handy cam then used the footage to create VHS tapes. Little did I know those dear memories would foster in me a strong passion to pursue video production for the rest of my life.

As I entered my 20's, my shooting skills really began to develop. My classmates paid me to shoot their videos – everything from music videos to short documentaries. I then began to reach out for professional work.

Today, I work as a DP/Editor shooting and directing short documentaries, social content, editing commercials for television, and more. I also produce quality still photography and am FAA certified in Aerial Operations.
