I find stories and create documentaries about research, agriculture, conservation, history, culture and community. My intent is to foster meaningful connections between seemingly disparate communities through visual media and storytelling in ways that are engaging and impactful.

My documentary work has supported numerous international environmental and humanitarian research initiatives, alongside agricultural extension and outreach programmes for growers, educators and researchers, as well as the development of educational and training materials for academic institutions, judicial bodies, governments, law enforcement agencies and non-profit organisations. It is critical that my work has, when possible, a tangible and meaningful impact within the communities it represents.
