Behind the lens…
“I think it's inevitable that people will come to find the documentary a more compelling and more important kind of film than fiction. Just as in literature, as the taste has moved from fiction to nonfiction, I think it's going to happen in film as well. In a way you're on a serendipitous journey, a journey which is much more akin to the life experience. When you see somebody on the screen in a documentary, you're really engaged with a person going through real life experiences. So for that period of time, as you watch the film, you are, in effect, in the shoes of another individual. What a privilege to have that experience.”
—Albert Maysles
In my professional life I am fortunate enough to work as a documentary producer and media consultant.
Over the past 10 years I have focused my creative efforts on producing documentary films and series. Documentaries are the reason I was compelled to start my journey in entertainment 20 years ago and it’s a privilege to produce projects that inspire conversation, tackle complicated themes and allow audiences to experience another way of life through the lens of a brave and open subject.
Along my career path I have worked with studios, talent agencies, production companies, brands, non-profits and creatives to help develop and produce projects for film, television and digital in both the scripted and non-scripted genre. My driving passion is helping shape ideas into compelling and accessible content. No matter the inspiration or format, my strength lies in building and leading successful teams to take a creative vision and strategy from inception to completion.
I received my MFA in producing from The Peter Stark Program at USC and my BA in International Relations / Political Science from Emory University.
What I find most fulfilling is identifying and elevating my teammates and clients innate talents in order to foster the best work possible. Whether it's collaborating with a director, studio, or brand, my job is to understand the overall scope and goal of a project and implement the correct strategy and direction to ensure a successful and creatively dynamic outcome. My hope is to create content that not only resonates with a wide audience, but has the power to inspire people to think differently about the way they see the world.
Content with a conscience.
I am drawn to character driven projects that explore universal themes and amplify diverse voices. I especially enjoy working on projects that push the envelope visually, thematically, and technically. I also love thinking outside of the box in terms of how to utilize new technology, platforms and formats to make the audience experience more engaging and impactful.
It's been my pleasure to share with you a little about my approach and why I feel so lucky to be a part of this constantly evolving and dynamic community.
