ABOUT M.E.
Like many people in the film industry, I transitioned here from a career in photography.
I feel lucky that I developed a passion for photography during my personal years of travel abroad. At the very start, I realized that people are my inspiration to create. I get excited when I create for people that believe in their story. I get excited when I work on projects that have a positive impact on others. I get excited at the opportunity to work with and learn from other talented creators. Although I’ve come a long way since first picking up a Canon 5Dmk ii in 2013, I see myself as a lifelong learner always seeking new outlets for growth, connection, and creation.

PROFESSIONAL STRENGTHS
I view every challenge as a new opportunity to bring my best, both personally and professionally, to every person I meet and every single thing that I do. I have 5 years of experience co-managing my production company, as well as freelancing in-parallel for the broadcast and filmmaking industries. I have, at one time or another, held all the roles that exist throughout the production process. So, whether you need help shooting cross coverage, collecting b-roll, running sound, setting-up interviews, operating the drone, directing the action, managing a client, bouncing ideas about the edit, or if you just need someone to grab you a coffee and tell you that things are going great, I can make it happen.
