A Freelance Journalist based in Boston, MA. I create TV and digital platform features and programs from conception to air for CNN and other media outlets.I first created this company while I was a full time producer at CNN International. I felt in order to tell the stories that did not have a budget or priority on CNN, I needed to do them on my PTO (personal time off). I wanted to give the voiceless a voice and raise awareness. I knew human interest stories, triumph over tragedy stories, environmental stories had a place on CNN but I felt we just didn't have the time or money most of the time to cover these stories.

During my time inside CNN Special Projects, I produced multiple award-winning weekly half-hour programs including, African Voices, Inside Africa and Going Green with Philippe Cousteau as well as other special features and documentaries on CNN International including "Athletes of the Arab Spring", "CNN In Depth: 'Honor' Murders", "Witness to War: Aleppo, Syria", "Europe's Identity Crisis" and "Greece: The Human Cost".My work entailed developing stories from conception to air: researching, field producing, writing scripts, filming and editing.earlier productions:Creator/Producer "iReport For CNN" half-hour weekly program 2008 “CNN Heroes” Coordinator 2008-2007 Producer/Post-Production:"Afghanistan: War Without End" one-hour doc 2008 "Leaner, Greener, Cheaper" half-hour special 2007 “Our Networked World” one-hour special; Switzerland 2007“Eye on India: Generation Next" one-hour special; New Delhi 2007 “Battle for the Skies” half-hour doc 2007"Europe's Identity Crisis" one-hour doc 2006 "Hurricane Katrina" special 2005 "Pakistan Earthquake" special 2005 "Survivor Stories" & "Healing From Tragedy" Asian Tsunami docs - also produced segments for MTV Asia Aid concert 2005 Producer “Be The Change” weekly vignette 2007-2008Creator/writer/producer "In The Life" weekly feature 2006-2007Writer/producer "Next@CNN" monthly science & tech series 2005-2006Associate producer/writer "Inside Africa" 2004 -2005I have been nominated and won many awards for including National Headliner, Foreign Press and Peabody awards but my most memorable moments have been in the field, meeting exceptional people and sharing the stories with a global audience.
