Archival research for film, podcasts, and books.

Film has been the thread running through my life. It taught me to understand the world, and my place in it. Inspired by the PBS series Nature, I made my first documentary when I was 16 — about desert wildlife, despite living in Wisconsin. In college, I made experimental art films — and studied writing with Allen Ginsberg at Naropa University.

Ever since, my work has come back to the same thing: finding stories worth telling and making them accessible. For nearly two decades, as an outreach librarian and video coach in a large urban library system, I've done exactly that — researching, organizing collections, and producing educational video for all kinds of audiences. I've written scripts, filmed and edited, and brought visual storytelling into public library services. Now I bring that work to archival research for film, podcasts, and books.

When I'm not working, you'll find me cooking, reading, or making something beautiful from wood — and, of course, watching films.

Across everything I do, the constant is this: I connect people to what they're looking for, and to each other.
