| I love people watching. From a young age, I enjoyed watching and listening. That sense of inquiry and empathy fuel my desire as a storyteller. People love interest in their life or work and want to share it. Having worked in Broadcast media, I have been fortunate to master the tools crucial to effective digital storytelling. Through spoken word, captivating images, powerful music, and a strong sense of narrative, I help people convey their story or message in the most intimate and unbiased way possible.
