Polyglot Citizen of the World. Misunderstood for being a degree collector. Recent Experiences: Video Journalist at France 24 (TV). Writer on social issues (Web). I enjoy researching and interacting with people to bring a variety of angles to stories. My analysis enables me to rapidly identify the key points of what makes a good story, but most importantly, of what makes a TRUE story. Inspired by a serendipitous meeting with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in Yangon in 2011, I want to tell the stories of those who are not free from fear. I am well-versed in writing and have a keen interest in relaying stories through the visual medium as well.

I was a multimedia journalist for over 6 years until the downsizing finally reached me. I then fell into union/non-profit video storytelling. I've used my journalism skills to tell the stories of members and the communities served by the non-profits. Along the way I've become knowledgeable about labor issues affecting public employees, healthcare for the uninsured and the true cost of government cuts to the citizens. The stories I hunt for are the underdogs fighting the system, the effects of the economic recovery on those still without jobs and the growth of the entrepreneurial spirit in low-income communities.
