About

Hello! I am a freelance documentary filmmaker based in Bogotá, Colombia. I produced and co-wrote La Bonga (True/False, 2023), co-created with the displaced commnity of La Bonga as they make a symbolic return to a home that no longer exists, and directed the short film The Bardia (Mountainfilm, 2022), following the leader of an extravagant equestrian sport as she rises and falls from the spotlight. I'm currently producing Backside, an observational film about the workforce behind the Kentucky Derby and directing FENCED, an essayistic journey through American fences and relationship to land. Previously, I was on staff at National Geographic as a short-form producer/shooter/editor, filmed over 150 musicians on NPR’s music team, designed an intensive summer film program for high school students at Yale, and guided horseback treks in Chile. I founded and led the DC chapter of the Video Consortium from 2017-2021.
