I'm a writer and filmmaker based in San Francisco. My short film Mining Phosphorus was screened at film festivals around the United States and a version of the film was broadcast on PBS Newshour. My feature documentary Posh Corps chronicled the experiences of Peace Corps Volunteers in South Africa as they struggled to be helpful in a rapidly changing country.
My non-fiction work has been been published by The Atlantic, KQED, Mission Local, The Sacramento Bee, Kjarninn, Stanford University, UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco. My fiction has appeared in literary journals.
I have a Master in Journalism from UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism and a Bachelor of Science in Multimedia from the Art Institute of Portland. I also studied media and communications at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, and fine art at Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming.
I've shot and produced films in South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Jamaica, New Zealand, Fiji, Kiribati and the United States.
