So, who am I? 

I am an American who has spent the last 22 years living and working in Africa in radio, television, video and photography, as a camera woman, editor, writer and field producer.

​

Following three years in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with Radio Okapi and the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission there, I enrolled myself in a Master's in Film and Television in Cape Town.

 

Just over a year later I was back in the DRC to cover the elections, this time as a freelancer, learning the ropes of covering news and current events, and building experience (and finishing my dissertation in the side!) 

​

I've freelanced since then, in news, then videography as we now refer it - covering events, projects, activities, 1st-person narratives, broader more complicated environmental stories, heart opening and informative stories.

​

What I've learned is this: If you take the time to listen, and open your peripheral vision - everyone and everything has an interesting story to show and tell. And being able to capture those stories is a privilege.
