About

Born in Alberta and now living in Nova Scotia, I have been involved in and around Broadcast TV and corporate video since I was a young child. Filmmaking is in my blood and storytelling is in my heart.

I am very outgoing and work closely with all departments on a project, collaborating freely with members of post early on in development.

My philosophy is: film making has always been and will always be a team effort, where everyone wins when we help each other get ahead.

I have working experience in sound, live TV switching, video playback, floor directing and directing live TV as well as writing, producing, directing, shooting and editing both scripted and documentary narrative content. My goal has always been to understand enough of each department to properly connect and understand the working necessities for a more empathic collaborative experience. “Try walking in my shoes”, so to speak.

Currently working as a Freelance Cinematographer on several Doc Factual programs.
