About

Producer/ cinematographer/ editor with more than seven years long-form and breaking news experience at PBS, as well as three years documentary/ archival experience for both corporate and news network series, specializing in topics of U.S. politics, education, the arts, and urban transit. For dozens of signature segments for PBS Newshour Weekend, I bring each story from its pitch to its publication: crafting the story idea, pre-interviewing potential subjects, scheduling travel and logistics, shooting and lighting interviews, writing scripts, factchecking and editing to the fine cut. As a breaking news producer on Saturdays and Sundays, I write copy, pull VO footage, SOTs, and edit the day’s top news package. Most recently I produced two half-hour NJ PBS documentaries “The Peter Mott House” and “Great Swamp.”
