I have eleven years of experience working in video production and eight years of experience in video journalism. I have worked for Dow Jones since 2011 as a freelance producer, videographer, and editor for The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and Barron’s Penta. At WSJ and Penta, I researched on the stories I worked on, wrote scripts and interview questions, and shot and edited videos. The topics I covered ranged from daily, weekly, and breaking news, to financial advising, to lifestyle videos. I constantly worked with reporters and news editors on developing innovative and engaging videos within a strict time frame. More often than not, I worked as a one-man-band, from ideation to personally overseeing it into a finished product. My years at the Wall Street Journal and Barron’s Penta have provided me with invaluable tools in understanding the ever-changing social media and industry trends. Always learning and improving ways to tell a story.

I like weird people and weird people like me. I am a multi-platform reporter with a passion for visuals. I came into journalism through photography, where I am well versed in breaking news, long-term features, portraiture and pretty much everything in between. Starting in 2013 I began translating that experience into videos; both documentary style longer pieces and short, punchy, social media-friendly vignettes. Oh, and I write. I cover a little bit of everything and have an affinity for characters who seem a bit too weird to be real. Alternatively and more "seriously," I have a strong interest in global urban development, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. I've worked in cities around the world, as a videographer, photographer and writer (and sometimes all three) for publications ranging from The Guardian to MSNBC to Al Jazeera America. I've shot photographs for AP, AFP and Reuters, and worked independently in Nigeria, South Africa, Zimbabwe and others.
