More About Me
Previously I’ve taught at Reel Works in Brooklyn, the International Film & Video Workshops in Rockport, Maine, Boston Film and Video Foundation, and Bilgi University in Istanbul. I have worked in documentary film as a producer, director and cinematographer and made the film Sarabah in 2011, as well as directing television shows for National Geographic, Fusion TV and ABC News. In my spare time, I write and edit for PassBlue, an independent publication that reports on the United Nations, and have covered climate change, women in peacekeeping and international financial reform. I’m currently directing a one-woman show and developing a collaborative documentary project in Turkey.
