WORK

about

I started my career as a photojournalist, learning to listen, observe, ask questions, and find stories in unexpected places. I bring those same instincts to my work as a director, whether I'm getting to know someone in front of the camera or working with a brand to find what makes it interesting.  I like how a conversation can change the direction of a film.

I was one of the founding directors at Courageous Studios, Warner Bros. Discovery's branded content studio. Over eight years, I helped shape the studio's creative identity and pitched and directed campaigns for Morgan Stanley, Chevrolet, Expedia, Coors Light, and Roberto Coin.

Before that, I worked at The Denver Post, where my journalism earned an international News & Documentary Emmy nomination, more than a dozen regional Emmys, and multiple Edward R. Murrow Awards. I was also part of the team awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting.

When I'm not making films, I'm usually studying and practicing yoga, spending time with friends and family, dancing, or getting outside.
