Producer & Editor

Los Angeles, CA

I’m a documentary producer and video editor with a background in print journalism. I’ve always been motivated to tell compelling stories about dynamic people and eager to chisel out a strong, focused narrative from a mountain of hard drives.

I grew up in Los Angeles in a family of storytellers. Both my dad and older brother are film editors, my mom was a writer and public school English teacher. My career began in print journalism — as a feature writer and, later, as managing editor of three award-winning Seattle-based magazines.

Whether I’m producing for a television documentary or editing for a museum installation or branded content, I believe the best stories are the ones we can all relate to.

The stories that make an impact are the stories that make us feel something. We connect with what we’re watching when we relate to it.

It’s my job to do just that — make you feel something.
