Full Bio:
I am a relative latecomer to the film and TV industry. I completed my undergrad at Mcgill University in Montreal where I majoried in history and double-minored in English literature and medical anthropology.
I spent much of my 20s working in very remote parts of North-Western Canada in forestry and settled back in Montreal where I worked a start up digital marketing firm. I specialized in marketing multi-date tours on behalf of major music labels such as Sony, RCA, Universal Music and Warner among others.
In 2018 I left the company to work full time as a strategic campaign advisor for political and activist campaigns, working primarily with environmentally focused NGOs and activists to reach new audiences, break stories and generate political action on issues in dire need of more attention.
In 2020 I worked with Canadian land defenders to
break a story on an organized crime ring running an illegal dump in Kanehsatà:ke, a Mohawk reserve outside of Montreal. The story made it's way to the floor of Canadian parliament, exposing the rot to lawmakers and precipitating legislative changes. It
continues to be a focal point in the Canadian press reflecting the government's abandondonment of indigenous communities.
This experience was instrumental in my choice to move into documentary. I aim to continue producing meaningful, well-researched, long-form journalistic content that can break through the static.
Since graduating my MA in 2022 I've been fortunate enough to work with director Asif Kapadia on his upcoming feature film. My role there spanned archive research, interview planning and transcription, cutting preliminary story rushes in Avid, script-development, as well as gaining access to contributors on behalf of the production. Since then I have worked on current affairs, blue light and natural history program for both film and broadcast TV.
I am a confident, licensed driver, fluent French speaker, hold dual American and Canadian citizenship and have the right to work the UK.
I am a confident shooter on all common Sony camera systems, as well as Canon C-Series cameras, and have a full working understanding of sound for film. I am a proficient editor in both Premiere, and Avid Media composer. I am also a licensed drone pilot in the US.
