I'm an award-winning journalist with over twenty years' experience working as a broadcast producer of news and documentaries as well as a reporter for print and radio outlets. Over the years, I've covered topics ranging from fracking to polygamous Mormons; I’ve interviewed both the homeless and the Secretary General of the UN; and I’ve shot anywhere from prisons to palaces. I started my broadcast career working for CNN in Rome, and then continued back in the United States as staff producer for Globo TV of Brazil, for Eurovision and for ARD German TV. As an independent broadcast producer, my clients have included Bavarian TV, ARTE, ZDF German TV, as well as Swedish, Danish, Dutch and Norwegian television. In recent years, I've delved into print and radio, winning a regional Edward R. Murrow and a New York City Press Club Award, among others, for my feature reports. I love to travel and speak (or manage to get by in!) various languages.

As an independent filmmaker, I have developed, co-directed and produced a number of projects for Al Jazeera English, NBC Nightly News, NBC News, The Guardian, and others. As a producer most recently at NBC Nightly News, I regularly produced original reporting, appearing on both TV and online and distributed across all NBC News' social platforms. Some of my work included a profile of a Palestinian sprinter on a mission to compete at the Rio Olympic Games; documentary features on Hurricane Katrina survivors and their fight to repair their battered homes a decade later amidst rampant contractor fraud and a profile of a group of New York's cop watchers. Additionally, I spearheaded NBC News' series coverage of the standoff at the Oceti Sakowin Camp in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, over the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline - contributing dozens of written articles, video features, exclusive scoops and live on-the-ground dispatches. Previously, I worked as a featured contributor for The Guardian US where I covered City Hall in New York City. My most consequential piece there was a months-long investigation into abuses within the city's foster care system. In the piece, I exclusively revealed for The Guardian a watchdog report administered by the New York City Public Advocate's Office that the city's Administration for Children's Services (ACS) had for years abused its power in family courts, wrongly taken children into custody and inadequately assisted those it claimed to help. The article, in addition to a subsequent class-action lawsuit on behalf of the victims, led to Gov. Andrew Cuomo announcing four major reforms to ACS in November 2015. Prior to The Guardian, I worked as a general assignment reporter at Quartz, the Atlantic Media’s global business news site, where I covered everything from the rise of the pro-marijuana legalization movement in the US to a series of features on the covert U.S. drone program and the companies and individuals most closely associated with it. My first job in journalism was as an Associate Producer for a special investigative documentary project, “Marijuana Wars” on the social, legal and moral implications of the nation’s 40-year War on Drugs, both in the US and in Latin America, and the rise of the marijuana legalization movement in the United States for “People and Power,” a long form investigative current affairs program broadcast weekly on Al Jazeera English.

I come from the humble midwest, finding myself in the heart of New York. With a dual degree in film and human rights, my career has been a push and pull between hollywood and non-profit organizations. I've worked with a number of film production companies and their big personalities, to local grassroots organizations with more passion than pocket money. As for now, I work as an Associate Producer at a documentary production company based in Brooklyn, while out of the office I spend my time in the hunt for stories. My tastes are simple. Rather than seek the most uniquely curious odd story yet to be publicly known, I ask what questions haven't been asked, and what perspectives haven't been told. I'm fascinated by the lady in my neighborhood who teaches piano to the deaf, while I contemplate the ants running single file up a blank wall. Letting my curiosity lead me, I start with one question and end with a million more.
