Digital Storyteller & Strategist, Mission-driven companies / Media DirectorPopTech
I'm a non-fiction video producer, writer, photographer, and editorial strategist, guided by the belief that a single story can raise awareness of the world’s injustices and suffering, as well as its triumphs and beauty, leading to change. For the past seven years, I've served as Director of Media at PopTech, developing editorial strategy and producing multimedia stories about PopTech innovators and initiatives across the globe. I currently work with PopTech and other clients I love and believe in, supporting them with digital storytelling and strategy.
After graduating from Stanford's Documentary Film program, I worked as an independent producer and taught video storytelling to former child brides in Andhra Pradesh, survivors of domestic violence in a refugee community in DC, and teen girls in rural Maine, in partnership with NGOs. I also taught film at the college level. When not working, I volunteer with Maine Syria Relief Project, and I love to spend time outdoors, hiking, paddle boarding, and photographing my favorite subject, the world.
