I'm a freelancer video journalist living in Brooklyn. I was the video producer for New York magazine for about three years, where I shot and edited hundreds of videos. Since leaving AOL/Huffington Post -- where I was New York editor for two years, overseeing a staff of two and publishing up to 15 news items per day -- I've been producing web videos. Among my recent projects was editing a mash-up for the New York Times Magazine, directing and editing a funny campaign for a Bronx needle exchange program, a music video to raise the minimum wage, and a profile of designers affected by Hurricane Sandy. I've also directed two feature films: the first, a documentary about the 2001 mayor's race, premiered at the Hamptons Film Festival and aired on the Sundance Channel for two years. The second screened at the LA Indie FIlm Fest and will hopefully find a permanent home online soon. I enjoy stories about people, simply put, and love being able to connect with others through video and hopefully do their stories justice.

I'm an avid cineaste and globetrotter who combines my creative skills in media production with my passion for storytelling, film, food and travel. With a multicultural background and a global perspective developed throughout years of traveling across borders, I hope to use film as a medium to bridge cultural gaps and make the world more connected.

I am 18 years old, from New York City, currently studying at Bennington College in Vermont. My experience with camera work (still and moving image) both comes from and is influenced by traveling and observing cultures. A trip in 2007 to the Brazilian Amazon with my family inspired Booker Travels: an original web video series about global travel that explores art, history, music, food, and natural landscape. Surfing and skateboarding are also used throughout our episodes as a vehicle for interaction with local cultures and languages. Since starting the project, my involvement behind the scenes has grown, and my ability behind the camera, and producing content, have also led me to other creative endeavors. I produced Rumble Magazine in 2014 with a friend; the goal was to put together a series of raw interviews together in a well produced and 'real' feeling book. These interviews had the goal of exposing the opinions and thought processes of our inspirations to a greater audience
