ABOUT
I am a visual journalist and social scientist based in the Bay Area. Through photography, video, and ethnography, I examine the nuances of human nature and sociopolitical issues that impact our individualities and societies.
I attended Chapman University, where I studied filmmaking and theatre, and minored in photography and sociology. I have also earned an additional bachelor’s degree in criminal justice studies and in the process of obtaining graduate degrees in the social sciences (anthropology, political science, and ethnic studies).
I studied in Europe and interned with IM Global at the Cannes Film Festival during my junior year. Months later, I was hired to be an executive assistant at their London office and I have worked in production ever since. My roles included anything from being a production assistant on multi-million dollar features and commercials, to casting and location scouting for ultra low-budget passion projects in California and New York.
In most recent years, I have produced work for Daily Kos, KRCB, PBS, Independent Television Service, and the National Endowment for the Arts. I explored many themes that include culture, politics, race, class, sexuality, and gender with projects like My America Is, Black Men Are Beautiful and the Webby honored campaign, I Identify, where I was producer, cinematographer, and editor. I am especially passionate about social justice so it is important for me to create art and seek work that challenge inequities in our world.
