Just call me a termagant...and aging visual storyteller who just can't seem to give it up. I began in the film era shooting 16mm single and double system and moved on through Umatic 3/4, Beta, DVC Pro and then into the digital era. Storytelling is my DNA. After re-inventing myself several times I'm now focusing on longer form and more complex stories. While I can handle quick turnaround and breakers, my preference is to embrace a story and get to know the characters and the issues. I guess you'd call it long slow news.

I love stories. I am a storyteller at heart, and telling unique stories drives me. We all relate in some form or another, and stories are the key to human connection. I make films to raise awareness among diverse audiences and inspire viewers to make positive contributions. For the past four years, I've worked as a film producer and editor on both local and international film shoots, including two feature documentaries. I work as a one-woman team to produce, shoot, and edit short format corporate films. I hunt for stories that humanize the marginalized, expose different angles of an argument, and impassion viewers to take action. I strive to help viewers understand people and emotions through beautiful images. I'm extremely hardworking and very adventurous. I enjoy taking artistic risks, challenging myself, and using my creativity to tell fresh, innovative stories.

I graduated from Temple University with a dual degree in Media Studies & Production and Spanish as well as a certificate in English Writing. I've done work all over the globe, from a piece on hip-hop artists in Johannesburg, South Africa to a short about an immigrant advocacy group in Oviedo, Spain. Currently, I'm producing and directing a feature-length documentary about the metalcore music scene in Lancaster County, PA called Barn Burner. By creating other media in addition to video, like writing and photography, I've learned not just how to operate a camera but how to understand and tell a story.
