I’m a journalist, creative content manager, entrepreneur, and film producer from Santa Cruz, CA. In 2017, I co-founded Swan Dive Media, a creative production studio specializing in documentary storytelling, branded content, and commercial production.

As a journalist working for a variety of print publications for over a decade, I have covered politics, lifestyle topics, the environment, startups, nonprofits, and a wide range of social issues. As a film producer, I have created documentaries, brand stories for marketing campaigns, educational outreach videos, commercials, and entertainment-focused content.

Within the framework of Swan Dive Media, I have narrated and hosted films on controversial subjects, corporate responsibility, and social aid efforts in Africa, as well as developed the storytelling and production plans for dozens of films.

During my tenure with Swan Dive Media I have successfully produced marketing content for a wide variety of small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, and local government organizations, among others. I help develop succinct, inspiring, and visually stunning stories for clients, and build out digital assets that educate, entertain, and drive sales.

PERSONAL LIFE:
I was raised aboard a 42-foot sailboat from the ages of 12 to 17, traveling around the world with my family. I grew up in more than 20 countries, am fluent in Spanish, and hold my OUVP Captain’s License from the Training Resources Maritime Institute, a United States Coast Guard-certified institution. In my free time I offer sailing excursions, team building, and training on the Monterey Bay - aboard sailing vessel Songline, which is the same sailboat I was raised as I traveled the world.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out for media consultation and my writing services—I’d love to hear from you.
