As a multimedia journalist, I am currently producing a documentary about drug treatment in Oregon. Now that the designated funds from Ballot Measure 110 are finally out the door, the questions are: are resources and services improving? When and where will more services be available? How are those in need of services being connected? The Video Project of Measure 110 hopes to answer these and other questions.

In June 2022, I completed a two-year MA Multimedia Journalism program via the School of Journalism and Communication, the University of Oregon, Portland campus. I graduated with honors, Kappa Tau Alpha.

My Capstone documentary short film began its festival journey with a World Premiere at the Seattle Film Festival where it won Best Director for Documentary Short, then ran at the Portland Film Festival and AutFest: The Texas Autism Film Festival in October 2022. At AutFest it tied for the Audience Favorite Award. It has since played at three other festivals and won a Best Student Documentary Film award, Best Autism Film and is currently a Finalist at NewFilmmakers NY.

Two other documentary film projects are also screening at festivals at this time. Mugshots in the Digital Age and Darcelle: On Life, Love and Dying will both screen September 2023 at the Klamath Independent Film Festival.

I take projects from inception to completion. I ideate, strategize, produce, engage, delegate, host, and interact with clients, subjects, stakeholders and investors. I am an interculturalist with interests in film, the performing arts and social issues--especially the opioid crisis, LGBTQ issues and the state of K-12 public education in Oregon.

And once upon a time, I taught ESL at Columbia University and Hunter College. My wife and I owned a small media production company in New York City and every now and then, I made an appearance as a stage actress and could be heard doing VoiceOver work.
