Discover Top Freelancers in Billings, Montana, USA

Hello, fellow creative soul. When I started this work 12 years ago, I couldn't believe how lucky I was to use my voice to connect with others. Now, thousands of projects later, this longing is still true. I love my craft. My vocal vibe is approachable, honest, playful, experienced, & warm. I also teach & present from my own healing about shifting Imposter Syndrome & Performance Anxiety using a body centric (somatic experiencing) lens. I teach workshops to audiences of all ages and backgrounds who are tired of wrestling with beliefs they aren't enough or don't belong. I will earn my SEP (Somatic Experiencing Practicer title) in 2024 after more than 400 hours of trainings, group consultations and private counseling.

I'm motivated by stories that matter, and inspired by the power of film to connect people across the planet. My work in documentary film includes working as a producer, camera operator, and post-production support for Makoshika, an award-winning film about the social impacts of oil's boom and bust in my home state of Montana. I also directed, edited and shot Banking on Trust, a film exploring sustainable poverty solutions through microloans in Argentina. My skills as a solo filmmaker have also sent me to Mexico multiple times to produce outreach videos for non-profit organizations in the San Quintín Valley.

These clients have ranged from local artisans to multinational corporations.
