I’ve produced and filmed more than 60 long-form segments for PBS NewsHour Weekend, covering U.S. politics, education, the arts, and urban transit.

I was co-cinematographer/ producer/ editor for four series: the struggling lone tuna cannery in America Samoa and how climate change affects Rose Atoll National Marine Monument for “Samoa Islands: Shifting Tides” with funding from Pacific Islanders in Communication; the debate over diversity and integration in New York City schools; unregulated chemicals in drinking water in Long Island and North Carolina; and the court fights over partisan gerrymandering.

I love bringing each piece from its beginning pitch to its publication: crafting the story idea, pre-interviewing potential subjects, scheduling travel and logistics, shooting and lighting interviews, writing scripts, and editing to the fine cut.

On Saturdays and Sundays, I put on my breaking news hat for PBS NewsHour Weekend. I write copy, pull VO footage, SOTs, and edit the day’s top news , including recently, an obituary for the late Rep. John Lewis and the latest negotiations  in Congress over COVID-19 relief legislation.

Before coming to PBS, I worked on the first three seasons of CNN’s documentary series “Morgan Spurlock Inside Man”. We were awarded the International Documentary Association’s ‘Best Limited’ series in 2013.

Previously, I was an elementary teacher in Houston as part of Teach for America. I have a bachelor’s in electronic media from the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication.
