Biography

I'm an Emmy nominated video producer at CNN who covers the intersection of technology, mental health, economy, startups and climate change. I have more than a decade's worth of experience in video editing and cinematography and have been published on CNN, Frontline/PBS, The New York Times Magazine and AJ+. My work includes short-form documentaries, visual investigations, 360˚ virtual reality experiences and explainer videos that have brought me to the towering redwood forests, launch pads of space rockets, above Manhattan's skyline in Uber helicopters, the banks of the Mississippi River, secretive desert locations where military investments in eVTOLs were underway and many other places around the country where there are stories to tell. I graduated summa cum laude from Emerson College in Boston with a BA in film production and am currently a graduate student at New York University pursuing an MA in journalism. I currently live in West New York.
