In 2023 I launched my tech startup founder of PadsPass, a digital pet passport platform to manage pet travel and pet care. I have also worked since 2022 for another tech startup Gamoteca as the Creative Director, working with clients to create human connected micro learning sessions called TECAs, which draw on my humanitarian background in the field as a film director and my studies at the University of Oxford Refugee Studies Centre. In 2007 I entered the film industry. I am a director and photographer who documents issues of health and human rights. My projects amplify and connect audiences with stories of people who are unable tell them on their own. My work has brought experience of freelance filming and photographing in 40 countries, with a focus on culturally and/or gender sensitive subjects in low-resource settings including conflict zones. Working with a range of budgets, I am experienced in writing, producing, directing, self-shooting, editing and managing post-production freelancers. With over 10 years experience in the industry, I have worked on over a dozen television shows (Ugly Betty, Royal Pains, Nurse Jackie, The Blacklist, House of Cards) and feature films (Argo, We Need To Talk About Kevin) as a camera assistant and operator. I have been a member of the International Cinematographer's Guild since 2007. My production company colLABorate: ideas and images has produced short and long format content.
