I am an investigative-minded producer and documentary storyteller with 15+ years of experience developing narrative-driven content based on real people, real conflicts, and social impact. I excel at research, in-depth interviews, ethical storytelling, and transforming complex material into compelling story arcs. I am comfortable working independently across the full production process—from investigative research to final delivery. I have extensive experience working with real people in vulnerable situations and high-emotion storytelling with integrity. I collaborate closely with strategists, creatives, and talent, bringing strong editorial judgment, remote production capabilities, and a commitment to social impact to every project.
