about me

I'm an award-winning journalist, filmmaker, writer and photographer focused on stories at the intersection of pop culture, politics and social justice.

After graduating from Cornell University, I earned my master's from the Columbia University School of Journalism, spent four years as a video producer at the Huffington Post, launched a new late-night talk show on VH1, worked as a producer/showrunner at Time Inc. and traveled the world as the field/story producer for Amazon Prime's Novak Djokovic documentary project.

I'm currently the creative producer for In Fashion, a new documentary series from Boardwalk Pictures.

I love Sade, skiing and apple pie.
