about me

I'm an Emmy and Peabody-winning journalist with a passion for building character-driven 

narratives across formats. From breaking news to investigative docs and true crime, 

I love making complex stories feel intimate and accessible to my audience - both editorially and visually. 


I've led diverse teams in the newsroom and field, and thrive on collaboration in dynamic environments: 

Always ready for the unexpected, and to make the impossible happen. 


My work has appeared on HBO, VICE, CNN, ABC, Hulu, Investigation Discovery, Court TV, and more. 


If you'd like to chat about a potential project, get in touch!
