I'm a freelancer who lives in Brooklyn, and I have a lot of experience working on smaller and/or corporate video sets as a PA, AC, or any other support-type unit, as I get the most satisfaction out of working behind the scenes in various settings. I love doing whatever I can to help other people enact their visions or just help things go as smoothly and efficiently as possible. I've spent a lot of my life supporting and assisting people, whether it be on tv/film sets, in my church, or in my own home (my mom's a doctor with a lot on her plate), and I'm more than willing to do any job, big or small, that makes it easier for other people to better focus on their jobs. If I see someone that has a lot on their plate, I enjoy doing what I can to make that plate a little less stuffed for them. I aspire to make comfortable environments where people are free to be themselves and work to the best of their abilities without anything impeding them. Simply put, I'm a team player that loves to help other people succeed, and I'm willing to learn/do whatever it takes to help make that happen.

I like weird people and weird people like me. I am a multi-platform reporter with a passion for visuals. I came into journalism through photography, where I am well versed in breaking news, long-term features, portraiture and pretty much everything in between. Starting in 2013 I began translating that experience into videos; both documentary style longer pieces and short, punchy, social media-friendly vignettes. Oh, and I write. I cover a little bit of everything and have an affinity for characters who seem a bit too weird to be real. Alternatively and more "seriously," I have a strong interest in global urban development, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. I've worked in cities around the world, as a videographer, photographer and writer (and sometimes all three) for publications ranging from The Guardian to MSNBC to Al Jazeera America. I've shot photographs for AP, AFP and Reuters, and worked independently in Nigeria, South Africa, Zimbabwe and others.
