My Story
I’m a documentary filmmaker based in Ottawa, Ontario. My current work focuses on the intersection between nature, healing and society, and strives to build bridges between communities while creating a healthier, more equitable world. While I work to dismantle my inner colonizer, the stories I share and the way they’re made aim to advance the collective unlearning of western society.
My debut independent film JUGAAD (2017) streamed globally on Netflix and was acquired by CBC’s documentary channel. Prior to JUGAAD, I was the Line Producer and Co-Editor at EyeSteelFilm for THE FRUIT HUNTERS (2012)(dir. Yung Chang), a feature film and two-episode series for CBC's The Nature of Things, in collaboration with the National Film Board of Canada. I’ve worked as a reporter and current affairs associate producer for CTV and CBC Radio and Television, and I have a masters degree in broadcast journalism and a bachelor of arts in English literature, both from Carleton University.
In an earlier chapter I trained to become an outdoor guide in my hometown of Calgary. Though I’m often tethered to a screen these days, I’m always trying to get outside more!
