filmmaker preparing the next generation

training specialist

I teach hands‑on, interactive media skills at Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School: using cinema cameras and sound gear, editing in Adobe Premiere and other Adobe apps, and making engaging social video. I run weekly workshops and work Monday–Friday.

My side hustle? I offer stylized, narrative visual storytelling in documentary, commercial and narrative film.

The Digital Lounge

Designed for creators, this space serves as a front-line resource to elevate digital skills, support creativity and ensure Newhouse students leave with a competitive edge in the industry. I strive to provide updated, “beyond classroom” learning tools to foster engaged digital citizenship and increase technical fluency required to thrive in today’s growing media landscape.

THE ARCHIVE - travelogue

Through My Lens

KATHMANDU, NEPAL - Through a Newhouse visual fellowship in the summer of 2016, I filmed and photographed empowering stories of young people in Nepal. You'll find in my travelogue more about these stories, and my experience over a three-month stay.
