For over a decade I worked as a freelance cinematographer and producer for National Geographic, Discovery Channel, BBC and The History Channel. In that time, I climbed the ladder from production assistant, to coordinator, to associate producer, to assistant camera, and finally to producer and cinematographer. Having fulfilled all these titles, I am a well-rounded filmmaker. With an insatiable thirst for diverse cultures, exotic lands and exploration, I have honed my cinematography through travel and adventure. As co-founder of The Invisible Lens, a husband and wife production company, I filmed with NASA astrophysicist, George Gloeckler in a memoir highlighting the pioneers of space exploration and rise of the Voyager spacecrafts. With a keen interest in environmental conservation, I spent over a year and a half documenting a large carnivore camera trap survey in Ethiopia’s Bale Mountain National Park. I am one of the first and only filmmakers to capture the elusive Abyssinian lion on camera. Most recently, my short documentary about transboundary mining threatening the integrity of the waters between British Columbia and Southeast Alaska, "Voices of the Inside Passage", was selected to the Colorado Environmental Film Festival. I have a passion for filming and producing impactful stories.
My husband and I documented our 2-week journey up the Inside Passage in order to bring awareness to the transboundary mining issues threatening the waterways of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska. In 2 months time we created a social media awareness campaign, and the complete 15-minutes short documentary which was selected to the Colorado Environmental Film Festival.
For 3 seasons I was a cinematographer and field producer on Wild Justice in which I worked with the California Fish and Game Department. Our daily activities ranged from tracking bear hunters, to dressing in full camouflage and hiking through the "emerald triangle" with ATF and CFGD in search of illegal pot farms.
Here is a sample reel of my cinematography. With over a decade working as a freelance cinematographer and producer for National Geographic, Discovery Channel, BBC and The History Channel, I am versatile and accustomed to working in challenging environments and with talent from all walks of life. My heart lies in philanthropic and conservation filmmaking.
Having been featured at the Kipps Bay Showroom in NYC, MJ Atelier commissioned me to create a "how it's made"/promotional video of their showcased customized wallpaper line. The use of the slider, Ronin, and macro lenses really made this piece sing
