I am a NYC area based filmmaker and I love archival. When I pull material for a project, I get the opportunity to experience the film in a completely unique way, and there is no greater feeling than working with a team to solve problems, reveal characters, and make something work. I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate on projects for PBS, Netflix, HBO, CNN, The New York Times, and ESPN.

My most recent project, the 4-part Emmy Nominated Netflix series, RAFA, chronicles Rafael Nadal’s last professional season within the context of his decades-long career.

While long-form biographical series have become my niche, I have also spent time working at CNN in a larger documentary unit, collaborating on multiple stories with a talented team focused on quick-turn news events, like Emmy-nominated BLINDSIDED (2024), and long-form documentaries like Emmy-nominated, KOBE (2026).

I co-produced, QUALIFIED for ESPN’s 30 for 30, which premiered at SXSW in 2019 and received the 2020 Focal Award for best use of Archival in a Sports Documentary.

Before diving deeper into the world of sports, celebrity and streaming, I spent years producing and honing the art of historic archival filmmaking, working on stories for the renowned PBS series, WGBH-American Experience. I produced, THE RIOT REPORT (2024), which premiered at DOCNYC and broadcast nationally on PBS. The film was written and directed by Michelle Ferrari and co-produced by Dr. Jelani Cobb.

Other credits for American Experience include, THE FIRST: SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR (2021), as well as the two-part series, THE VOTE (2020), which premiered at AFI Docs and was nominated for a Peabody Award. THE EUGENICS CRUSADE (2018), written and directed by Michelle Ferrari received the WGA award for Best Documentary Script.

In my spare time, I have fun building my own archive. My short documentary SCARY TIMES (2020), premiered at the NYC Short Documentary Film Festival and won Best of Fest at the Hudson Valley Film Fest in 2021. I am a graduate of Ithaca College, was a blue-ribbon finalist for the College Emmy Awards, and received film festival recognition for my first film, THE GAME (2012).

I am currently overseeing archival production across numerous projects slated for 2027 release, and always love to connect with good characters and good storytellers.
