Who am I?

I am a filmmaker! I am a visual artist!  I am an avid Knicks fan! I am a lover of learning! I also believe that relationships are everything!

I have been creating still images of all kind since 2013. My favorite types of images to create are the ones that I believe allow me the most freedom. It could be for a wedding, it could be for an event or I could just be wandering around chasing shadows.

In 2017, I was awarded a video residency at Express Newark in Newark New Jersey.  That residency afforded me the opportunity to connect with other like-minded creatives.  In 2018, I wrote and produced my first stage play, The Race Before, A story of liberty and justice for some.  In 2019 I wrote, directed and produced my first short film, In My Solitude.  In My Solitude is currently in the editing phase and is scheduled to be released later this year.  Also, in 2019, the feature length documentary Being Gladys, which I worked on in several capacities won best documentary at the Newark International Film Festival.  I am currently in the beginning stages of my next film project, The Waiting Room. I am also scheduled to work on two documentaries in 2020, Gone Too Soon and The Story of Dr. John A. Kenney. I am a proud board member of Women in Media – Newark.

A Brooklyn/Queens native, I currently reside in New Jersey with her husband.
