Documenting your world with care. I’m efficient and enthusiastically creative.

Hi out there!
I’m a filmmaker based out of Boulder, Colorado. I’m forever thankful for documenting with photography & video, it’s my true north.

I make all sorts of films from idea to creation - specializing in short documentary style videos. I care about what I create, how it affects people and working with kind, honest people.
Here are current and past short documentaries I’ve directed.

As the Director of Video Production at Techstars, I created many videos including three seasons of a documentary web series, The Founders, which won a regional Emmy.

Created videos for Techstars, Chautauqua, Visit Longmont, Vail Resorts, City of Louisville, Garden to Table, Sunflower Farm, Louisville Farmers Market, The Network DC, and more.

I've been in love with making videos since I was a little kid. I believe everyone has a voice and every filmmaker a unique style.

More background
I won three Heartland Emmys for “Directing” & “Youth/Children” categories. 

Born in Philly. Graduated from University of Southern California's film school with a degree in Cinema/Television: Production. Enjoying every day with my husband, three kids, and our dog. I love being outside!

I love connecting with people & sparking happiness through filmmaking.

What to expect
I like to keep things simple. Typically I wear all hats on a video project - produce, direct, film & edit but also have a great group of creative buddies that can join on a project if needed.

I describe my style as uplifting, natural, and adventurous mini documentaries that help communicate your messaging in an entertaining way,.
