Hello! I’m a Brooklyn-based filmmaker focused on stories that connect us.

I’ve spent over a decade creating emotionally resonant, high-impact media, mostly within progressive movements. My work aims to bridge documentary storytelling and movement strategy, centering people above all else. I’m passionate about finding creative ways to break down abstract subjects into media that is accessible and relatable.

I’m especially skilled at producing meaningful, high-quality content within modest budgets, tailoring all sorts of powerful stories to scale and distribution platform. Whether it’s a quick social video or a large scale production, I’ll approach the project with an equal amount of care and intentionality.

My work has earned several awards and is featured in Time Magazine, NBC News, Washington Blade, Reductress, and more.

I’ve worked with organizations like Sierra Club, Human Rights Campaign, Run for Something, the Democratic National Committee , Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, No Kid Hungry, and more.
