Born and raised in New York, I studied filmmaking at the New York Film Academy and the School of Cinema and Performing Arts in my youth. As an undergraduate, I continued my education at Emerson College where I created award-winning short films. Years later, I freelance in New York and around the world, shooting commercials, documentaries, reality, music videos, and everything in between, always striving to learn more about my craft and the world around me. Selected experience includes directing, DPing, and editing for projects with Verizon In The Know, Yahoo! In the Know, A&E, The Design Network, Thrillist, HBO, Netflix, and Tribeca. I’ve earned the Diversity & Inclusion Award at the Shorty Social Good Awards in 2021 and several festival honors for student and short-form work. Based in Brooklyn, I love collaborating with teams across genres and traveling to tell stories with a cinematic eye.
