As a director, producer, and video journalist, I’ve worked on films around the world, with experience spanning editorial and branded-content projects. I’ve collaborated with newsrooms, non-profits, education institutions, corporate companies, and community organizations. Currently, I’m a Director with StoryKeep, where I help bring family legacy stories to life through film and multimedia projects. I’m also an Associate Producer at Arch + Bow Films, supporting critically acclaimed nonfiction films with bold, artistic vision. Credits with Arch + Bow include THE OFFICIALS (Time Studios) and RICHLAND (Apple TV+). My personal work explores diaspora, memory, and representation, often with a focus on Jewish identity. My documentary short, about the preservation of the Ladino language, SONGS OF THE SEPHARDIM IN IZMIR, has screened at multiple festivals. I’m currently working on a new experimental short film, KAPUS, about my family’s Sephardic history. I transitioned into film after studying at The Salt Institute for Documentary Studies at the Maine College of Art & Design following past work lives in sustainable agriculture, community development, and talent recruiting. I’m a believer in winding paths and all these experiences inform my process and storytelling. Outside of my work, I continually look for ways to deepen my connection to land, community, and art. You’ll usually find me at the farmer’s market, on a hike, in the kitchen, or searching for a new place to swim. I now live in Rhode Island, but I’m often in Maine and New York — the other places I call home. Member of: The Documentary Producers Alliance and The Video Consortium.
