About

---

Born in Jamaica and based in New York, I am an Award-winning Director, Emmy-nominated Producer-Writer and Narrative Strategist with over a decade of experience developing and leading projects from concept to completion.

I view storytelling as a salve and a tool for liberation. As such, I've always been interested in what makes a story salient, not just creatively, but structurally and emotionally. What that has meant in practice is this: taking something unclear, complex, or still forming and shaping it into a story that people can understand, connect with, and invest in.

My work sits at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and execution. Over the past decade, I've led projects from early development through delivery, aligning creative vision with operational execution and guiding teams through complex, high-pressure environments. I've created and collaborated with companies such as HBO, MTV, BET, ESPN, YOUTUBE, VOX MEDIA, AND KCET TV. 

My producing and writing credits include Youtube Original’s Emmy-nominated doc series “Glad You Asked S2”, HBO’s Original Documentary “Reopening Night,” ESPN’s “Skin in The Game,” MTV’s “16 & Pregnant”, KCET doc series “Where Cultures Collide”, and  the Gemini-nominated, TV 5 distributed doc series La Vie En Quatre Temps| “Life’s Rituals” 

With 3+ years in Advertising for premium brands such as Heineken, Burger King, and Scotiabank, and 4+ years shaping government policy communication across Jamaica, Grenada, and Antigua, I don’t just think of story as content. I think about it as infrastructure. 

How it’s built.
How it endures.
How it moves across platforms and audiences without losing its core

How it shapes what people feel, understand, and carry forward. 

My work spans film and audio, with a focus on developing original intellectual property and elevating underrepresented narratives.

 My background in audio and visual storytelling, combined with my experience working across cultures and communities, allows me to bring both emotional depth and structural clarity to the stories I help shape.

I'm also a trained journalist and an award-winning radio producer. I created "This Immigrant Life Podcast," a 5-star-rated lifestyle and film podcast available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. My work has been featured in Deadline, Hollywood Reporter,  Variety, ByBlacks, Jamaica Gleaner, on KTLA and TVJ.  

I am a Firelight and Sundance Fellow, a former board member of the Documentary Producers Alliance, a member of the Writers Guild of America, and the owner of the female-led production and creative consultancy company Phoenix Pictures.

I have an MFA in Documentary Filmmaking from the New York Film Academy and a BA in Media and Communications [Honors] from the University of the West Indies.
