My Background

I’m a Digital Media Producer, Director and filmmaker with more than a decade of experience creating video across product marketing, documentaries, live programming, podcasts, and internal communications. My career spans enterprise organizations, creative agencies, and cultural institutions, where I’ve led end-to-end production and collaborated closely with brand, marketing, editorial, and executive teams. With a background in theatre and performance, I bring a strong sense of story and direction to every project, paired with a systems-minded approach to planning, workflows, and media management. I’m known for running calm, organized productions and delivering thoughtful, reliable work under tight timelines.
