“JOB CORPS: FIGHTING FOR A FUTURE” (2025) 

A documentary and longform story with the Virginia Center for Investigative Journalism, weaving investigative journalism and personal narratives as the Trump administration tried to shut down a vocational program for low-income youth. I filmed, edited and produced this project with my partner Laura Thompson, reporting in Washington, D.C. and Marion, Virginia.

“MAKING CONCESSIONS” (2025)

In October 2025 I participated in the 50th Mountain Workshop, which brings journalists to a different small town in Kentucky every year and gives them four days to produce a story idea drawn out of a hat. My short film profiles a couple who find meaning in volunteering at a local theater after a stroke disrupted their lives.

CBS News politics videos (2023-2025)

After leaving CBS News for The New York Times, I returned there for a second stint in a newly-created position as supervising politics producer for the social media team. I produced original packages and worked with more 30 political correspondents on hundreds of videos. These included my interviews at the 2025 March for Life, a package about how a mother and daughter voted in the New Hampshire primary, a series about unresolved mysteries of Jan. 6 and an explainer I filmed at the White House about President Trump’s changes to the press corps, which earned more than 20 million views.

“OUR 20S” (2024)

My debut documentary feature came from an idea I had in the last days of 2019: Film a minute of every day of 2020, and see what happens. I ended up capturing the year that changed everything, from its first to last day.

“OUR 20S” had its sold-out premiere at the 2024 Art of Brooklyn Film Festival. It was later screened on the BRIC Free Speech network and NewFilmmakers Plus, and at Toronto’s CineForum.

“WHAT HAPPENS IF BUFFALO ELECTS A SOCIALIST MAYOR? INSIDE THE DEMOCRAT VS. DEMOCRAT RACE” (2021) 

I produced and narrated a CBS News documentary about my hometown’s mayoral race between Democratic socialist India Walton and Mayor Byron Brown, a Democrat who ran as an independent after losing the party’s primary. I interviewed both candidates in the race’s final weeks. Four years later this election would often be compared to the race between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo for New York City mayor.

9/11 FIRST RESPONDERS PROFILES (2021)

For the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I pitched and produced a series profiling first responders with different experiences from that day. They are an FDNY firefighter who came out of retirement, a NYPD officer working with his K-9, and a volunteer firefighter who represented an overlooked group of helpers.

“THE GLOBAL IMPACT OF GEORGE FLOYD” (2021) 

My team at CBS News won a Webby Award for this series showing what Black Lives Matter protests looked like in countries around the world throughout 2020. I produced the pieces about New Zealand (below) and the United Kingdom, and scripted the full documentary that tied all of the global stories together.

"First Person": Young doctor volunteers to battle COVID-19 in New York City (2020)

I worked with the CBS News graphics team to produce this animated first-person narrative of a New York City nurse’s experiences in the worst months of the COVID pandemic, which was nominated for a Webby award. I’d work with the team again on several short animated explainers, including New York City’s ranked choice voting and how to run for office in 60 seconds.

“WHY I VOTE” (2020) 

In February 2020 I started producing an election video series “Why I Vote,” which was going to profile individual voters in the early voting states and eventually bring them all together to meet. The COVID-19 pandemic cut the project short, but I completed two profiles before that: A New Hampshire mother, who lost her son to the opioid epidemic, and a struggling teacher in South Carolina.

CBS NEWS DOCUMENTARIES (2019-2021)

I served as an associate producer or co-producer on three full-length CBS News documentaries: “Hindsight is 2020: An Unprecedented Election,” “Drinking Culture: American Kids and the Danger of Being Cool” and “Speaking Frankly: Non-Monogamy.”

“THE VANISHING TWIN” (2019)

A short film I directed and scored, mostly as an exercise in visual storytelling when I finally decided to try filmmaking. Basically a self-assigned student film I made at 27. It premiered at the NewFilmmakers NY Fest in April 2020. Maybe I’ll post it here one day.
