I am a New York-based multimedia journalist, videographer, video editor, writer and photographer, and currently the multimedia producer for the Open Society Foundations. I was granted a Roy H. Park fellowship in 2008 to pursue a master’s degree in visual journalism from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I focused on multimedia and documentary storytelling. I have experience leading, managing and collaborating with teams on ambitious multimedia projects as well as teaching audio/video content gathering and editing workflow to undergrads, graduate students and professionals. Most recently, I was a video journalist for The Boston Globe. Outside of work, I spend a lot of time with my cat Quito (see below) and I am working on a documentary film called ‘Spilling Over’, focusing on the damaging effects of the BP oil spill on a family and community in Venice, Louisiana.
