I am an independent filmmaker and storyteller from Maine.

I am an independent filmmaker and storyteller from Maine.

I care deeply about stories that celebrate the Earth’s natural beauty and all of its lifeforms. I am eternally blown away by the intricacy of nature and all of the mysteries that surround us. Through my creative work, I invite people to ask more questions.

I love to collaborate, connect, and produce creative work with others.

Storytelling, and this medium, requires me to pay attention, be more present, and be a better listener. 

Some of the companies I work with include:

I also work as a Freelance AC, DIT, & Story Producer
