I am a Writer & CREATIVE DIRECTOR with a mission to help others.

I believe that showing audiences different places and ways of life reminds them to be empathetic global citizens. It’s my hope that my work inspires others to understand people, and do their part to help build a more compassionate society.

I have worked as a video producer for the Chicago Tribune, the Academy Award-winning documentary production house, Kartemquin Films, and as an editor on the award-winning MSNBC original series Ricochet about Chicago gun violence.

I have a Master's in Journalism from Northwestern University, and a degree in Geography with special research in Geology from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I have combined these disciplines to create work centered on social issues, dissent, travel and environment.

I currently work as Lead Writer at Clum Creative. I’ve worked for TIME Magazine, The Smithsonian Museum, BBC News, BuzzFeed, CBS, the Associated Press … and I’d be thrilled to work with you too.
