About

As a journalist-turned-filmmaker, I blur the lines between the creative fiction and non-fiction storytelling. My transition from TV news to cinema has given me the opportunity to ground myself in the best of both worlds. With over 11 years of experience as a content creator, my journey spans diverse roles across the creative process, from pre-production to post-production, including leadership roles. This hands-on experience equips me with a comprehensive skillset including research, production, cinematography, editing and creative direction, enabling me to craft impactful stories, from ideation to execution. Whether coordinating complex shoots, capturing striking visuals, or perfecting the final cut, I thrive on delivering authentic and resonant narratives that captivate the audience. My background in journalism informs my approach—meticulous research, critical thinking, and a deep respect for impactful storytelling are at the heart of every project I undertake. As I build Indiegenius, an end-to-end production house, I’ve come to realize that I am passionate about using the power of storytelling to inform, inspire, and ignite meaningful conversations while driving a positive change in the world. Let’s connect to explore how my skills and vision can contribute to bringing untold stories to life, that leave a lasting impression with their cinematic vision.
