No matter who we are or where we come from,
we all have a story.
This is mine.
I’ve always paid close attention to people and had a deep curiosity about their stories. I remember working on film sets during my time at NYU and thinking that the people who were working ON the set were far more intriguing than the film we were making.
Where did they come from? How did they get here? What drives them and what are they passionate about? I cared more about these questions than the carefully scripted story we were actually filming. A semester of studying documentaries with the legendary filmmaker George Stoney introduced me to the great documentaries of the century, and I was hooked!
I fell deeply in love with documenting real people and learned how powerful this form of filmmaking can be. It can show us an aspect of the world or of someone else’s life that we never would have otherwise encountered.
I want my films to show that there’s beauty in every single person. We all have so much in common with one another, and no matter who you are or what you do, others will relate to you and see themselves in you if you tell your story with courage and clarity.
WE ARE ALL SIGNIFICANT.
OUR STORIES MATTER.
I grew up in an environment where it was important to pay attention to the lives of others, especially those who were not born into this world with the privilege with which I was gifted at birth.
People were important to my ancestors, and they are important to me. I carried this attitude with me through film school, as a photojournalism workshop producer, and as I started a family and continued my career editing documentaries as a work-at-home mom. That’s when I noticed an opportunity for storytelling that I couldn’t pass up: branding and business. I found an incredible world of people who wanted to share their gifts through their businesses but struggled to tell their stories and connect with their audiences in a meaningful way.
Business and storytelling are a match made in heaven!
Storytelling bridges the space between us.
I’m here to help you bring your story to life.
We all want and deserve to be seen, heard, and accepted. I am here to magnify the voices of those who don’t always have access to a platform for being heard. To tell the stories of people who are doing important things in the world to create positive change.
Our lives on this earth are significant, no matter who you are, where you come from, or the privilege you were born with (or without). I am inspired by people who have changed the world on an enormous scale, but sometimes the work we do affects change on a smaller scale. I think most of us fit in the latter category.
These are the stories I wish to tell.
The ones that would normally go unheard, but in many ways are relatable, inspiring, and compelling.
“What is important is the moment of opening a life and feeling it touch—with an electric hiss and cry—this speckled mineral sphere, our present world.”
