Photographer and Videographer
Communications Specialist
Live Broadcast Production for Concerts
Live Broadcast Production for Sports
Hi there!
I'm a seasoned multimedia producer, videographer, and broadcast camera operator based on the East Coast. Currently, I work as a multimedia journalist for The Emancipator, a nonprofit digital magazine dedicated to tackling racial inequity. We focus on pressing issues like health disparities, the wealth gap, climate inequality, and police violence, all while producing award-winning multimedia content and hosting community events.
With over a decade of experience in social media and content creation, I’ve had the privilege of working on a variety of high-profile projects—from national book tours for New York Times bestsellers to the NBA Finals. My portfolio boasts collaborations with major names like Netflix, ESPN, Apple, Live Nation, and iHeartRadio, as well as esteemed local institutions including the Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, Boston College, and Boston University.
In addition to my production work, I specialize in website management, social media strategy, and media relations.
Outside of my main gig, I’m a Boston-based photographer, videographer, and A/V specialist. Whether I’m in the TD Garden control room as the audio/DJ for the Bruins, on the court as a jumbotron camera operator for the Celtics, or jamming out to artists like SZA and Bad Bunny at concerts, my passion for multimedia storytelling is always at the forefront.

We were sent to desegregate a high school in Boston |
Video Essay
Leola Hampton was a 14-year-old high school student when Boston’s desegregation busing program began. The program started after Judge W. Arthur Garrity ruled that the Boston School Committee, which serves as the school board for Boston Public Schools, was guilty of intentionally segregating the city’s schools. Phase one of the plan began with Black and White high school kids getting bused to each other’s neighborhood for school.
Watch as she recalls her experiences traveling through anti-desegregation protests to get to her predominantly White high school.
