Activist. Explorer. Storyteller.

I am passionate about people and their stories.

My life is centered on social responsibility, as reflected by my career choices, creative endeavours, and philanthropic pursuits. 

I give back through freelance consulting for nonprofits, sitting on nonprofit boards, and fundraising for important causes. I also spent several months traveling to some of the most impoverished regions of the world with Operation Change, the Oprah Winfrey Network’s documentary series on  international philanthropy.

After being fully immersed in the world of production and learning from seasoned producers I decided to utilize my unique combination of education and worldly experience to pursue producing socially conscious content. Upon my return to the states I began developing and producing documentary films, television series, and digital content focused on making a positive impact in the world.

My calling is in the collaboration of journalism, film, branded content and social media to raise awareness, tell stories from around the world, and fuel progressive action. 

Prior to shifting my focus onto media, I held several positions within government and both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors.

I received her Masters of Public Policy with an emphasis on nonprofit management from the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs. My policy research and expertise includes topics like international poverty and economic development, civil society and nonprofit management, and national security and conflict resolution. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from USC, where I participated in directed research in Social Psychology and conducted independent research on Post Traumatic Stress.
