About Me

I’m a video journalist who geeks out on a beautiful pull focus and the perfect backpack. I spent four years in Latin America working for Agence France-Presse, first as an editor and VJ at AFP’s regional headquarters in Montevideo, then as the Peru correspondent and coordinator for Bolivia and Ecuador, based in Lima.

After covering events like the suicide of Peru’s former president Alan Garcia, I’m well versed in handling breaking news, and saw conflict in Nicaragua during the political crisis in the summer of 2018. I was front row for the presidential elections in Brazil and Colombia in 2018, and got an inside look at the ‘World Cup’ competition between inmates in Lima’s jails.

I began my journalism career as a volunteer at KUTE 88.1 FM while serving in the Peace Corps on the Micronesian island of Yap, and it has given me more than I ever expected. Whether sneaking up on alpacas high in the Andes or hopping onto a fishing boat to shoot scallops being harvested, I strive to get shots that tell the story and are compelling.
