ABOUT ME

I was born in Far Rockaway, Queens, and did not have an easy childhood. Separated from my parents at 4, I was homeless and on my own by 16 when I discovered my passion for writing and filmmaking, which has gotten me through some of life’s toughest times. I began my career in the film industry at 17 doing grip and electric work, which helped me get out of the shelter and gave me independence.
​

Since then, I’ve built a steady foundation in independent video journalism, filming and editing footage from the origins of Occupy Wall Street to the Black Lives Matter movement.I’ve worked for companies such as BET, VICE Media, and Democracy Now!, and produced video for the New York City Department of Homeless Services. At my most recent job as an Associate Producer at VICELAND, I pitched and hosted award-winning short documentaries that aired on VICELAND's cable channel. I am creating video content that highlights marginalized voices, stories, and ideas, and my work is socially conscious, entertaining, and enlightening.
