I've spent the last five years as a Director of Photography, drawn to vérité cinematography because I favor genuineness over perfection—life is imperfect, and my work reflects that. My political campaign work, recognized with multiple Pollie Awards including Gold for Best Digital Campaign and Independent Expenditure work, taught me to do more with less and get creative within limitations. This experience shaped me into an effective production planner who can deliver under pressure.

I recently stepped into directing, earning a festival finalist nomination for my documentary short following a successful fitness coach's search for meaning beyond professional achievement. This transition from videographer to DP to director has given me a comprehensive understanding of the production process and how to lead teams toward a unified creative vision. I approach every project with technical rigor and problem-solving instincts honed in the field, always in service of authentic storytelling.
