About

I am a Brook­lyn based media strate­gist, pro­ducer and doc­u­men­tar­ian. I work with visual media and dig­i­tal tech­nol­ogy to fos­ter sto­ry­telling, col­lab­o­ra­tion and diver­sity. My cre­ative roots lie in pho­tog­ra­phy, and my cur­rent work involves dig­i­tal games and inter­ac­tive media.

I am cur­rently a Col­lab­o­ra­tive Fel­low at the doc­u­men­tary arts cen­ter Union­Docs, Salon Pro­ducer for the award win­ning polit­i­cal blog Bag­News­Notes, Lead Doc­u­men­tar­ian and Infor­ma­tion Archi­tect on social inter­est games for PET­Lab, and Documentarian/Archivist for the infa­mous Baby­cas­tles.

My past pro­fes­sional expe­ri­ence includes work­ing for a foun­da­tion, a photo agency, two design stu­dios, and about a dozen NGOs. I have worked in Guatemala, India, and Ethiopia on doc­u­men­tary projects and com­mu­nity based media pro­duc­tion. I recently com­pleted a 10-month Ful­bright grant to Ethiopia where I worked with the youth film col­lec­tive Sud­den Flow­ers Pro­duc­tions. I hold a BFA in Design & Tech­nol­ogy from Par­sons School of Design and a BA in His­tory from Eugene Lang, both col­leges of The New School University.

Of all my accom­plish­ments, few will top being voted “Most Likely to Dis­cover Time Travel” by my junior high classmates.
