I'm an Executive Producer/Showrunner, Director, and Journalist based in Los Angeles, CA. My career in the industry started with the special opportunity of being a part of a small team that launched the MTV network in Canada where I led the development and production of MTV News by introducing it as a regular segment in interstitials and online, as its first Reporter and Producer, before adapting MTV News into a daily half-hour program that ran successfully for almost a decade. Known for my extraordinary research and ability for candid and entertaining conversations, I've conducted hundreds of memorable and widely-shared interviews with a multitude of talent, from Donald Glover, Coldplay, Oasis, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, and Adele, to Idris Elba, Elliot Page, Robert Pattinson, and Zoë Kravitz.
After winning a Travel Journalism Award for Best in Broadcast, I created and produced a primetime travel series on MTV that featured artists in music, TV/film, and arts + culture experiencing their favorite local spots around the world that had made great impact on their lives. Locations explored on the show included Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Austin, Lyon, London, Isle of Wight, Iceland, and Portugal.
Notably, in 2023, I won an Emmy for Best Human Interest – Long Form Content for the documentary The Movement to Save New York's Chinatown as well as gold recognitions at 2024's Anthem Awards and Shorty Impact Awards for the doc series Food Heroes for First We Feast. Both series featured unsung heroes in disregarded, marginalized communities who are pushing for positive social change through food and community action. Other projects include unscripted series for networks and studios including Spotify, Paramount+, Complex Networks, and Warner Bros., branded campaigns and promo videos for Netflix, Urban Decay, LG, and TED, and partnerships with non-profits such as Define American, No Us Without You, and Down North Foundation.
