Producer and director with an entrepreneurial mindset and extensive experience in documentary film, digital video and journalism. I have managed teams in-studio and in the field, commissioned short documentaries, handled budgets and built out operations and workflows. I incorporate design thinking when building out strategic plans.

My work focuses on underreported stories and has taken me from covering the U.S. military presence in Okinawa and Guam and Monsanto’s presence in Puerto Rico, to traveling to Arctic Village to produce a story on the Indigenous Gwich’in people’s fight to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil drilling.

Some of my key projects include:

• Edward R. Murrow award winning series on Puerto Rico for Direct From for AJ+
• Regional Emmy® award winning “Untold Story of America’s Southern Chinese” for AJ+
• Futbolistas 4 Life - an independent documentary film that I directed and produced that broadcasted on public television and screened at film festivals across the country

I am a News & Documentary Emmy and Sports Emmy Awards judge, Online News Association Women’s Leadership Accelerator alum and UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism alum. I am based in Oakland, California and work throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, nationally and internationally.
