My journey through the world of journalism has been a compelling odyssey, capturing pivotal moments in history and amplifying the voices of the unheard. From the tumultuous events of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution to the electrifying atmosphere of the 2014 Brazil World Cup, I've woven narratives that traverse continents and cultures. My lens has not only focused on global events but has also delved into the intricacies of human rights struggles. I've illuminated the struggles of indigenous and immigrant communities in the United States, shedding light on their challenges and aspirations. Through my work, I've transported viewers to the heart-wrenching aftermath of the Christchurch Mosque mass shootings in New Zealand and the impassioned streets of the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States. Amid these defining moments, I've also dedicated myself to unearthing the truth. Following the cataclysmic explosion at the Port of Beirut on August 4th, I've meticulously chronicled its reverberations, capturing the resilience and strength of the Lebanese people. My commitment to frontline reporting during the Arab Spring in Egypt was recognized with a prestigious nomination for the Rory Peck awards. In 2019, I was bestowed the honor of the Bronze Telly Award for my unwavering documentation of immigration issues in the United States and Mexico, a testament to my dedication to storytelling. In my role, I directly collaborate with clients, ushering their video projects from conception to fruition. My responsibilities encompass the entire spectrum of production, from envisioning and strategizing to scripting, storyboarding, crew coordination, and shooting. I orchestrate aerial visuals through my role as a documentary-style drone operator, a realm where I'm licensed and insured by the FAA. My nimble flight craft of choice includes the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and DJI Mini Pro 3. I craft cinematic narratives through aerial and gimbal-based videography for diverse commercial clients. Moreover, I extend my expertise to the world of FPV drones, leveraging the DJI FPV and DJI Avata to create breathtaking and exhilarating videos through a first-person perspective. My journey is an embodiment of my unwavering commitment to storytelling, one that constantly evolves while preserving the core of human experiences and aspirations.

With a strong visual eye and a creative mind, I approach storytelling like a puzzle. How can I bring this to life? How can I take a simple idea and give it a voice and a vision? How can I manage, coach and mentor people to think creatively and communicate more effectively? I’ve concentrated on these questions for nearly a decade, as I’ve directed, produced, shot and edited video in a variety of roles. As video director at MOKO Social Media, I developed an entire video department from the ground up. In just a few weeks, I’d built out a studio, coached staff and launched production. In a few months, I created seven video franchises specializing in fitness and politics to be sold and sponsored independently. At Voice of America I co-created and launched ‘People in America’ a new visual series and style of storytelling, diving deep in the lives and emotions of various individuals. From Andy Shallal, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, to Maz Jobrani, these are stories unlike others, almost like a candid sit down, allowing the audience to capture the true story behind names and faces. Leading and managing an amazing team of creatives to create moving and compelling stories! While in charge of managing, shooting and producing all newsroom studio shows at USA TODAY, I built successful video platforms with daily franchises for news, money and entertainment. I have worked with and trained many staff on proper storytelling. I’ve used my storytelling approach to field produce creative video packages at the Boston Marathon, SXSW Interactive, the State of the Union address, both 2012 political conventions and the Presidential Inaugural Ball, the Met Gala, and a number of awards shows, including the Tony’s and the MTV Movie Awards. My passion if Video Storytelling and making people connect with the stories they are watching.
