About

Video Producer and Creative Director with over 20 years of hands-on experience across New York and Hawaii. I combine public-sector communications at the Hawaii State Department of Education, international arts management as co-founder of the New York Japan CineFest, and in-house documentary filmmaking for an art gallery.

I manage the full production lifecycle independently—from concept through advanced editing—creating visual stories built for targeted social media distribution. I also lead fully remote post-production workflows and deliver global projects seamlessly from anywhere.
