I'm a video journalist and documentary filmmaker with over 14 years of experience. I started my career as a commercial editor and director of photography before transitioning to documentary and journalism in 2019. In 2021 I cofounded Focus Journalism, an investigative visual journalism outlet reporting on and in Northeastern Pennsylvania. So far my visual journalism work has earned 14 Mid-Atlantic Regional Emmy nominations and a 2022 Mid-Atlantic Regional Emmy.
