About

I’m a camera operator and filmmaker based in Ottawa with over a decade of professional experience in film and media production. I specialise in visual storytelling across narrative, commercial, documentary, and branded content. By combining technical expertise with a strong creative eye, I craft compelling imagery that supports story and emotion on screen.

I hold two Ontario College Diplomas in Media Production & Design and am an active member of IATSE Local 667, advancing to the classification of Camera Operator in 2025. Known for a collaborative approach and a deep understanding of camera systems, lighting, and composition, I’m committed to delivering high-quality cinema while contributing to the Ottawa film community.
