About me
I am a Canadian journalist and documentary filmmaker.Since 2005, I have worked internationally, concentrating largely on projects based in West Africa, as well as Eastern Europe. During this time, I have directed, produced, shot, and/or edited more than thirty films - traveling with all my own equipment and learning to find creative solutions in sometimes challenging situations. I also spent time reporting for a local newspaper in Ghana, helped present a human rights radio show in rural Cameroon, served as a multimedia trainer supporting local journalists across Liberia, and was hired as a ghostwriter (co-authoring a novel that took me to three different continents).
Along with my own projects, I often undertake work for NGOs, and produce news and features for various magazines and online sites. To date, my work has appeared in a range of publications, including Global Post, The Financial Times, and Inter Press Service News Agency (IPS), among others.
