I’m a California-based video storyteller and journalist focused on short-form content for digital media and television. My work sits at the intersection of journalism and social video, with a focus on equity, policy, environmental justice, and social change.

I currently manage Video Production & Branding at World Central Kitchen, overseeing stories from activations around the world, including disaster-affected communities and the realities of climate change and conflict.

Previously, I worked as a Social Video Consultant with Define American, creating short-form vertical video for José Antonio Vargas and his podcast, and as a Social Media Editor for Fast Company and Inc.

Alongside my social video work, I pursue long-form journalism focused on environmental justice, gender, and labor rights, supported by grants and fellowships. I hold a master’s from UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism and a bachelor’s in Journalism from San Francisco State University.
