CLICK ON A THUMBNAIL TO VIEW ONE OF MY DOCUMENTARY SHORTS
After spending a decade in corporate communications, I pivoted to journalism and filmmaking. I enrolled in UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism’s two-year Master’s of Journalism program.
Since then, I’ve worked as a researcher and screenwriter on an award-winning PBS digital shorts show, have won a scholarship from the Emmy’s organization for my doc short on the threats of AI deepfakes, and have had my thesis film “XXI Century Cossacks” screened at two international documentary film festivals.
Currently I’m working…
as an editor on a feature doc in post-production and assistant editor on a documentary series in post-production. I’m also pursuing freelance ventures as an investigative journalist.
Currently I’m open to working…
as an editor, assistant editor, researcher, screenwriter or author.
