About
I am a filmmaker and creative director.
I've worked as a video producer for the Chicago Tribune and Kartemquin Films (Hoop Dreams, The Interrupters and Life Itself), as an assistant editor on the MSNBC original series Ricochet about Chicago gun violence, and have worked behind the camera as a run-and-gun-style documentary filmmaker for organizations like TIME, BBC, Education Week and more.
I have a Master's in journalism with a specialty in film and broadcast from Northwestern University's Medill program, as well as a degree in Geography with special research in Geology from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
I've used what I've learned in both disciplines to make documentary films focusing on social issues, dissent, travel and environment.
I work as a Writer/Creative Director for a video production company that offers animation and live action (documentary and concept-driven work) and bring my experiences as an on-set and in-the-field filmmaker to inform important creative decisions that help bring a concept to life.
