From Burning Man to boardrooms, I'm comfortable documenting a wide range of stories and producing content across all mediums.I started my career in late night comedy, then joined a union for feature film production. After witnessing too much disparity and sexism on film sets, I went back to grad school and pursued purpose-driven work. Since then I've worked with the Clinton Foundation and produced documentaries with Frontline. I also produced the TED conference and livestream events for several years.As creative director for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, I was able to pour my energy into a cause that's very important to my family after my father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Most recently, I was part of the digital operations team that won the presidential election with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris!I'm also a freelance video director / producer and support birth clients. My work has been featured in New York Times, Esquire, Harper's Bazaar magazine, won Webbys, Emmy and Academy Awards, and more.
