Award-winning writer, director and producer in film, TV and journalism for 10 years. My recent directing work includes industry-recognized car ads for Hyundai, viral spots for brands like Amazon & Adidas, and social impact documentaries for Clorox. Before becoming an independent filmmaker I was a Senior Creative Producer at BuzzFeed Branded Video for 3 years. I juggled several projects at a time and in all different stages of the production process - one in post overseeing the edit, on set directing, doing a final copy edit on a script, and sending in a fresh pitch deck. Previously I was a network producer at Discovery Science Channel where I worked on shows like "The Unexplained Files," "Alien Encounters" and "Prophets of Science Fiction with Ridley Scott." I also created the video content and live produced panels for thousands of excited fans at Comic Con in NY & SD. I know the ins and outs of pitching to networks, developing shows and executing them on accelerated and full timelines. Before that I was at CNN Special Investigations and Documentaries, where I still have strong relationships from working on specials like "Unwelcome: The Muslims Next Door," "Battle for Blair Mountain," and "Latino in America." As an accomplished producer I received a Peabody for coverage of the Gulf Oil Spill Disaster as part of the "New Orleans Rising" documentary with Soledad O'Brien, Visionary Award at Summit Emerging Media Awards for the "Young Entrepreneurs" series for Hyundai, and spots on the Youtube Ad Leaderboard. While I am a creative who envisions a project coming to life as soon as I read the words on the page, I'm also a producer who knows how to deliver assets that meet client's criteria on time, and under budget. I can one-man-band it shooting 4k, editing in Premiere and creating graphics in Photoshop, run-and-gun with a camera op and sound guy on a doc shoot, or direct a commercial spot with a crew of 70. No matter what the project is, I will give it my all because I'm passionate about creating art. Lets make something awesome together!
