I am a storyteller. I love to convey the complicity and diversity of human lives to an audience. Whether it is about the humble beginnings of students struggling to earn their way through college or the shy little girl from a nursery school I volunteered at in Tanzania, each medium, video, audio, photography, or a combination of the three, is my vehicle to celebrate the state of being.The web has provided me with not just a career, but also an arena of self-learning.For more than a decade, I work at the Media Relations Office at Lehman College. I have the freedom to explore, learn, and grow along with the web as it becomes more and more sophisticated and dynamic.My training in fiction and non-fiction was instrumental in me becoming a multimedia producer.From the skills of creating beautiful imagery I learned at Hunter College, to the techniques of connecting with people I mastered as a visual journalism fellow at the Poynter Institute, I amassed a portfolio of works I take pride in. Many of them are residing at the Lehman’s YouTube Channel and iTunes U. As of today, there are more than 70,000 views on the YouTube Channel and over 10,000 streaming and downloading of podcasts at iTunes U.Coming full circle in my career, I am returning to my roots, filmmaking.With affordable digital video production, I completed my first feature film this year. The opportunity to wear many hats on set has reaffirmed my passion for storytelling.Do you need someone to help you tell a story? Whether you're looking for a creator or a collaborator, I am available to work for you as a freelancer or consultant.
