Story & Media

I have my undergraduate in documentary film from UCLA and spent my early career in production, working on projects with Ken Burns, PBS, Al Gore's LiveEarth climate campaign, and others.

Starting out in documentary film and storytelling as a single mom is challenging. I made a decision to prioritize raising my son and moved into social media management and content strategy, running editorial, brand, and digital presence for larger media companies and smaller organizations. I became incredibly skilled at that work. But the pull toward story and research never left. So I went back to school.

I recently completed my Master's in Media Studies at The New School. I'm returning to the work that has always been at my core: story, writing, research, and documentary, bringing a deep fluency in media, content, and digital systems with me.

I'm openly looking for collaborative work that lives at the intersection of all of it.

I'm a builder at heart. Tiny homes, off grid-properties, websites, stories, media.

I approach them all the same way.

Storytelling and human connection are at the core of how I think, live and work. Feeling and tone matter to me. People and their stories matter to me.
