About Jessica

I am an Emmy® nominated Oakland-based video producer + editor with a passion for creating powerful and engaging visual content. I am a graduate of Northwestern University, and George Washington University’s Institute for Documentary Filmmaking. She was the 2011 George Stoney Fellow at Working Films, and a 2013 BAVC Mediamaker Fellow. In 2016, she received an Emmy® nomination for “Women Dancers Redefine Oakland’s Street Dancing Scene”, published on KQED Arts. Stemming from a background in psychology and the non-profit sector, her focus is on mission driven content. In the past I have worked on feature documentaries, online courses, short documentary & video journalism, and short marketing content for non-profit organizations via outlets including KQED, The New York Times, TED, and others. I believe in the power of media to expose stories and truth, spark conversations, and break down barriers.
