From investigative journalism to music videos, I let the story take me on adventures I could never have imagined myself.

If it involves travel, foreign languages, and anything related to Culture, politics, music, sports, cute animals or has major historical implications, I'm in. I'd love to help you tell your next story.

I have been a freelance journalist in Hong Kong for four years. I was an anchor for NHK World, the international English channel of Japan's public broadcaster in HK. In addition to anchoring, I have produced many TV reports, most of them are finance-related. I have also co-produced a few documentaries featuring the social problems in contemporary China, such as children trafficking and cancer villages. I relocated to Taiwan and started to work for a media company full time in 2013. It is a new experience for me and I would like to document this interesting city with camera. I think this is a place that's under appreciated and has many hidden stories that are just waiting to be told. I'm interested in covering cultural and artistic stories, as well as politics and social issues.

From shooting atop 350-ft tall wind turbines to inside caves to the jungles of Central America, I have done a lot of interesting work in some unique situations. I have 12+ years experience as a filmmaker, where I've learned how to do nearly everything myself, including shooting, editing, motion graphics, writing scripts, and presenting/hosting on camera. I have ridden my bicycle across America (twice), creating videos to promote bicycle travel, and have created a 10-episode web series using nothing but stock media. I shoot a lot of nature stock footage with cinema cameras, and create filmmaking tutorials.

I'm an award-winning journalist, who began working in documentary photography and filmmaking about 15 years ago. I've directed and produced two feature-length documentaries, and am now directing and shooting my third. I'm also a member of Local 600, and shoot on film and TV sets. As a documentary photographer, I've focused on post-conflict work, but I'm drawn in general to stories that ask the questions: What does it mean to be human? What is the role of community in helping us define our humanity? I'm experienced in national and international coverage, and I'm a 2012 Guggenheim Fellow in Photography, and a Sundance Documentary Institute fellow. I'm visual, verbal, and passionate.
