After over a decade of working in film, television, and corporate video, it’s about time I started educating!
I picked up my first video camera in college - I made a documentary about a women’s roller derby team and I was hooked. I fell in love with making a beautiful, moving image, telling a compelling story, and collaborating with powerful women along the way. There aren’t enough of us teaching and telling our stories - I want to work with you to change that!
Now I live with my husband, 2 young boys, and Walter the we’re-pretty-sure-is-part-bengal cat, in North Carolina. You’ll find me doing my best to balance my professional time creating weekly content for you, with the rest of my life - riding bikes, trying to get a handle on our vegetable garden, binge watching Every. Single. Season. of Survivor, and loving our little piece of life.
