Whether it's a documentary, a feature, photograph or the written word - I specialize in illuminating the unique aspects of a story that others may skim over. I approach topics with empathy, curiosity and professionalism. My goal is for the viewer to share a deep connection and sense of curiosity with the subject, forgetting that any other person was ever involved in bringing the story to life. My work has received many awards and garnered much attention. In 2016 I received an Emmy award for Outstanding Feature in a News Magazine in 2016. I have received Three medals at the 2016 New York Festivals International TV & Film Awards Competition. In 2018, my work received three more medals.

Multimedia as we know is rapidly changing, now more than ever, and video is widely perceived to be at the forefront of this movement. Over the years, I've found that the best way to produce an outstanding video is to stay on top of the technological and cultural trends to better understand the where things are and where they are headed. With that as my primary focus, I strive to have a diverse technical and creative mindset that I bring into every project and an understanding of the intricacies of storytelling to help take any vision to the next level.
