Available to hire
I’m a director and writer with a global perspective, bringing curiosity, experimentation, and passion to every project. Fueled by a lifetime of traveling and collaborating with top companies like Google, Salesforce, MasterClass, KQED, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, I thrive on weaving humor, humanity, and meaning into stories that truly resonate. Whether building teams or solving problems, my goal is to tell stories in a language that connects and inspires.
From directing celebrities to managing crews and client relationships, I embrace the wonder of the world and craft impactful narratives that engage audiences both on and off set. Passionate about creativity and storytelling, I constantly seek new ways to connect and inspire through my work.
