Well hello there.
A brief history of my professional life
A former juggler and magician, I studied theatre at the University of Ottawa before beginning my career in film. In my over 25 years working in the industry, I’ve gained experience in virtually every position behind the camera on productions ranging from studio features to online content for the charitable sector. For the last 15 years I’ve focussed primarily on producing and directing and in that time I’ve made multiple commercials, short and feature length narrative and documentary films, industrial/corporate/academic content, and many hours of documentary series for broadcast.
I have extensive experience developing and shepherding ideas from conception through to delivery. I’ve worked with a diverse array of people from A List actors to executives and academics to marginalized and vulnerable populations. I’m equally comfortable in offices and on location, through all stages of prep, production, and post production. I thrive working as part of team that comes together to elevate stories and make engaging pieces that are greater than the sum of their parts. I’ve earned a reputation as an excellent communicator who inspires confidence and creates comfortable, safe, and motivating environments for artists, technicians, stakeholders, subjects, and clients alike, no matter what their experience level. I'm an easy going, supportive and encouraging person by nature and my genuine love of creating is a driving force in my life.
