Over the past two decades, I have produced and edited arts and culture programming for myriad organizations including Sundance TV, Vice Media, Alaska Dispatch News and Etsy. I am currently the in-house filmmaker at the Criterion Collection in NYC, covering stories about film culture across the country. My interest in storytelling and documentary has led me to notable and quirky places around the world. From throat-singing sisters in Canada, to an abandoned textile mill town in Lancashire, UK, my feature pieces seek to get to the heart - of the story, the character, and what it means to be human.
Winner of the 2014 NW Regional Edward R. Murrow Award for Feature Reporting and nominated for four NW Regional Emmy Awards, my work has been featured on The Criterion Channel, Sundance TV, The Atlantic, The Paris Review and as Vimeo Staff Picks. I am a native New Yorker with an adventurous spirit, who loves meeting new people and giving voice to compelling, personal stories.
