Welcome!
I am an award-winning documentary filmmaker based in Washington, DC. I have been producing unscripted short films for the past 20 years and have had the opportunity to travel the world for various non-profits, think tanks, and government agencies. My short documentary "Little but Fierce" was nominated for a 2020 Student Academy Award. I'm currently the President of DC's Women in Film and Video non-profit and am the Senior Video Production Lead for the Defense Health Agency.
I previously taught all levels of filmmaking at George Mason, American and George Washington Universities. My courses included Intro to Filmmaking, Advanced Editing, and Documentary Filmmaking.
Most importantly, I love the water and every so often I turn into a mermaid. I can often be found at live music events around the District. I love all things covered in fur and have a black lab named Penny and a very spoiled alley cat. I'm also a leader in the local Burning Man community and have helped build large-scale art installations in the middle of the Nevada desert.
