I'm a Southern California-based video journalist who produces, shoots, and edits stories for BBC News, PRI's The World, The New York Times, TIME, PBS, and others. My video stories have taken me around the world, and I've worked extensively across Asia. I've produced and filmed video stories about camel traders in India, cat cafes in Japan, and a child goddess in Nepal. I previously worked as a video journalist for NBC News in New York City. It was there that I found my quirkiest, and most fun video story ever: a circus sideshow school in Coney Island (I learned fire-breathing isn't as hard as it looks!) I studied journalism and documentary filmmaking at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.

I am a self-taught artist; my mediums are photography and directing. My pieces have been acquired by places like the Whitney Museum, and I've auctioned my work internationally with Phillips—though, my artwork hanging on my Caribbean grandmother's wall holds more value to me than any museum exhibit. I've collaborated with some of the world's largest brands, on Times Square billboards, storefronts, TV, TIME Magazine and more. I've also had the privilege of telling my story through lectures at universities across the United States. This is actually my second career, and the best part about my job? Meeting new people, and telling their stories through each new project. I'm represented by Apostrophe Reps. I hope to meet you soon.
