Request QuoteI have been an avid experimenter of new forms of visual storytelling for my entire career. My passion is finding new ways to tell stories about the most complex global challenges facing our world today. I’ve worked on films in Hollywood, covered elections and conflicts as a multimedia journalist for the Associated Press, and served as the CEO of a business that produced global stories for social impact. I have always pursued projects that educate, inspire and build bridges across communities and cultures. Stories that call attention to our shared humanity bring us closer together.
