About
I’m a writer-turned-photographer-turned-multimedia journalist, but, as you will see here, I’m most comfortable and effective producing video features and short documentaries on a wide variety of subjects.
I spent more than a decade living in Dakar, Senegal and reporting throughout West and Central Africa for The BBC, The New York Times, GlobalPost, Al Jazeera, Voice of America, CNN, as well as many humanitarian organizations and foundations. I returned to the U.S. in late 2024 for family reasons and spent a year as an investigative reporter for NPR’s Midwest Newsroom, a role that required me to focus on audio and text. While I enjoyed developing those skills, as well as my investigative reporting, I have returned to video as my primary medium.
My greatest strength is my versatility, which allows me to independently produce high-quality video outputs — as well as secondary and tertiary outputs for print, broadcast and social media — handling every stage in the process, from pitch to publication. While I have worked on many stories as part of a team, I am presenting here only projects on which I worked alone or the elements for which I was solely responsible.
