I am an Emmy-nominated video creator and viral hitmaker.
Campaigns
Amplifying memorable moments from progressive political campaigns, I created viral sensations for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run and Beto O’Rourke’s 2022 gubernatorial race. I also managed the Human Rights Campaign’s electoral video work in the 2018 and 2020 cycles.
Marketing
I spearheaded creation of impactful video at the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, the Human Rights Campaign. I not only tripled HRC’s video views my first year but earned it multiple Shorty Awards and a Heartland Emmy nomination.
Events
I supported HRC’s 30+ annual black tie galas, fundraisers and its marquee National Dinner. We created videos to show at the events, livestreamed programs and cut post-event videos from on-site captures. As an independent creator, I have contributed to AFSCME, ACLU Michigan, Equality Virginia and the League of Conservation Voters.
Video & Multimedia Journalism
I began my career as an early innovator of digital journalism, earning Newsweek the first Emmy nomination of any U.S. magazine. I launched a doc series for MSNBC, created programming for the New York Post, directed Alpha Media Group’s magazine video production, and contributed to BBC News, Reuters, Glamour, Men’s Health, CBS Local, New York Magazine and more.
