I am an 11x Emmy Award-winning journalist, cinematographer, and documentary filmmaker. I produce, shoot, write, and edit short and long-form visual narratives that often focus on crime, conflict, and, when I’m hungry, food.

I’m doggedly curious about the lives of others and passionate about reaching new audiences who crave innovative, deeply reported, character-driven stories captured in cinematic style. I’ve traveled to over 50 countries and reported on many of the world's ongoing conflicts, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Ukraine.

Most recently, I was an international correspondent at Vice News, where my team and I gained exclusive access to embed with several foreign militaries, including the Somali National Army's special operations unit known as "Danab Brigade," where we witnessed the country's fight against al-Shabaab; French commandos during their final days of conflict in the Sahel; and Burkina Faso's armed forces just days after they overthrew the government. I’ve also spent time with militias and paramilitaries in Iraq, Syria, and Mali as part of my reporting on the international "war on terror."

Throughout 2021, I made several trips to Haiti to report on the country's ongoing political crisis and rampant gang violence. My team was the last group of American journalists to interview Haitian President Jovenel Moïse before his assassination and one of the first U.S. news crews to land in Port-au-Prince following his murder.

I received multiple Emmy nominations during my time at Vice, winning two for reporting on the demonstrations in Minneapolis surrounding the murder of George Floyd in 2020.

Before joining Vice in 2019, I worked at ABC10 in Sacramento, California, where I brought viewers on captivating journeys to Afghanistan, the U.S./Mexico border, Puerto Rico, and California's deadliest wildfires, telling the stories of those threatened by war, natural disaster, political repression, and gang violence.

My ability to produce, report on-camera, shoot cinema-quality visuals, and write and edit my documentaries allowed me to work using a small footprint and gain exclusive access to subjects who may have otherwise turned away bigger crews. During my time at the station, I won nine Emmys, including outstanding achievement in documentary and cinematography for my film on the war in Afghanistan, which I solely produced, shot, and edited after spending two weeks embedded with U.S. and Afghan forces.
