about

I am an award-winning filmmaker, storyteller, and consultant with a passion for engaging diverse communities and navigating complex creative challenges. My journey began as a Thomas J. Watson Fellow, documenting indigenous music communities across the globe—a path that taught me the power of listening, cultural exchange, and the art of storytelling.

From crossing rivers into Afghanistan, interviewing musicians censored by the Taliban, to co-creating “Kufi Krew: An American Story,” my work centers on connecting deeply with people and crafting narratives that resonate. I’ve developed a keen understanding of how to drive impactful storytelling across various platforms, always with a strategic lens.

Today, I apply these same principles of connection and engagement to consulting, specializing in stakeholder management, client relationships, and creative project oversight. Whether guiding large-scale media projects or navigating complex challenges, I bring a unique perspective that blends creativity with strategic insight—helping clients not only meet their goals but tell their own compelling stories along the way.

Let’s collaborate to bring unconventional wisdom, strategic vision, and impactful storytelling to your next project.
