Video Journalist, Cinematographer, Producer, and Editor based in NYC.
I've produced, filmed, and directed documentary-style stories across the food, travel, culture, and military beats. My work has taken me around the world, from documenting traditional cuisine in Tbilisi, Georgia to capturing elite U.S. military training programs in dangerous mountain ranges, often working as a one-person crew while also leading larger studio and on-location productions. I manage every stage of production, from research, outreach, scripting, and logistics to cinematography and post-production while collaborating with cross-functional teams under tight deadlines to generate millions of views for diverse audiences.
Past Work
As ice caps in the arctic have melted and uncovered new shipping lanes and highly sought-after resources, the US Army has announced a new arctic strategy to establish a dominant presence and compete against countries like Russia and China. Key to this new strategy is the Army Mountain Warfare School in Jericho, Vermont, where soldiers are being trained on mountaineering, cold-weather skills, and high-elevation tactics.

Every day at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, a staff of over 200 people cooks and serves over 13,000 meals for the 4,400 Army cadets attending the school.

“How Air Force Pilots Fly The Controversial $19 Million A-10 Warthog”
The A-10 Thunderbolt II, nicknamed the Warthog, is the United States Air Force’s primary low-altitude close-air-support aircraft. It is the only Air Force aircraft produced specifically to support ground forces. It does this using the 30-millimeter Avenger Gatling gun mounted in its nose to clear the battlefield and create a safe path for US ground forces. Soldiers named it the Warthog because of its "ugly" appearance and the guttural sound created by the Avenger.
