about

Born and raised in New York City, I have always been surrounded by stories that inspire me. I earned an MFA in Social Documentary Film from the School of Visual Arts, and a Bachelor’s degree in Cinema and New Media studies at Hamilton College. Prior to working in documentary, I have been a casting assistant, museum docent, Bat Mitzvah video montage creator, camp counselor, Zumba instructor, and full time sister.

Compassion, humor, and conversations with strangers fuel my passion in film, life and play. I believe documentary filmmaking has the power to build empathy by sharing often untold stories, and finding shared humanity between people around the world. Documentary has an intimacy that cannot be recreated in any other medium. Through humor and relatability, my goal as a filmmaker is to create thought provoking films that inspire dialogue and encourage empathy.
