Originally from the Chicago region, I moved to Paris at eighteen to study and to be inspired by the culture and meeting new people. While attending the American University of Paris, traveling and learning French, I developed a passion for documentary and a humanist approach that has informed my work ever since. Whether working as a news cameraman in Cairo, running a global network of news and documentary videographers and photographers while living in Beirut, directing an ethnographic film in Fez, or producing brand content and commercials in London, Paris and Los Angeles, connecting with people and telling their stories is my north star.
Working with brands and agencies over the last five years as a creative producer at LEFT, agency producer at m_nstr and now independently, I bring a wide range of talent relationships across Europe and the UK, deep knowledge of the French production ecosystem in particular, and an international perspective and working method to my projects and those entrusted to me as a production partner.
