Capturing the story, bringing it to screen

With 10+ years of experience in documentary filmmaking, breaking news, and multimedia production, I look for the truth and tension at the heart of each story and push for the subjects and voices that bring it to life. I work across both the creative and logistical sides of production, combining editorial judgment with hands-on production expertise. From directing film crews overseas to managing post-production timelines back home, I lead projects from initial concept through final delivery.
