STORY.

Journalist, Photographer & Documentary Filmmaker

 My global mountain adventures have become the bedrock for international reporting and storytelling in conflict affected countries, with a focus on humanitarian, environmental, political and social justice issues. STORY captures both my independent journalism and documentary film work, with the goal of advancing the humanitarian conversation; to educate, raise consciousness, amplify voices and create impact. Below are samples of my published writings and essays through traditional and digital media platforms.

I’m currently directing a feature film aptly titled, UKRAINE UNDER FIRE which is still in production. The film amplifies Ukrainian voices and what they are experiencing each day and discusses war crimes, genocide and injustice, amidst Ukrainian bravery, resilience and indomitable spirit.
