Hello! I am an independent producer, editor, and video journalist living in Berlin, Germany, originally from the US. My work ranges from music videos to corporate documentaries to short fiction films, although I've always had a passion for free-form documentary film that seeks to raise social awareness. My film credits include post-production editing and office work on the Oscar-nominated film Trouble the Water, Michael Moore's most recent film Capitalism: A Love Story, and the upcoming Morgan Spurlock-produced documentary, Dancing in Jaffa. I have always devoted a significant amount of time to the discoveries of travel, various cultures, and the human spirit, and hope to convey this understanding and emotions in my film work and everyday life. I graduated from Wesleyan with a BA in film in 2010 and now reside in Berlin, Germany, continuing to make creative and fun work.
