After working as a corporate video producer for several years in DC she realized her goal to direct her first documentary. Released in 2013, The Last Song Before the War was described by NPR Music as “one of the best recently released music films” and received a National Endowment for the Arts grant for postproduction and outreach.

Building off her interest in social justice filmmaking, she co-directed the independent documentary, DEAR WALMART, which tells the inspiring story of Walmart workers who are standing up and fighting back at America’s largest private employer. The film was released in 2019.

Most recently she co-produced THE AMERICAN DIPLOMAT with her partners at FLOWSTATE which was a co-production with PBS’ American Experience and premiered in February of 2022.

How do you find flow?
I love the search to finding flow. Creative work is challenging because it inspiration and original ideas are hard to pin down. I’ve come to learn that resting, thinking, studying, together lead to that focused window of flow. Production work suits me well because of the deadlines and creative challenges it requires. When I am writing a script, my process is to read and re-read transcripts until suddenly a theme or organizational structure will hit me and I can run with it.
