I'm a writer and director. Most of my work has to do with searching for beauty in this strange timeline.
My films include All Gave Some, Rubatosis, and the feature Spoil (in pre-production). I was Story Editor on Pipas (dir. Walter Thompson-Hernandez), which premiered at Tribeca and won the Special Jury Prize in 2025. I have a story in development with Monkeypaw Productions.
I'm writing a book of short stories called Yesterday We Knew Light.
My essays and writing are on Substack and Aeon Magazine. My academic writing on storytelling, grief, and embodied knowledge has been published in Transnational Curriculum Inquiry, Canadian Curriculum Studies, and a Springer anthology.
Before I became a filmmaker, I was a scholar.
I served as Academic Director of the Sparks Academies in Afghanistan, consulted for UNICEF, and helped implement early childhood education programs across New York City reaching 68,000 students. I was a Visiting Scholar at George Washington University and an Action Canada Fellow.
I hold a PhD from the University of British Columbia, and degrees from Brown and MIT. I'm the recipient of the Ted T. Aoki Award and the Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies Dissertation Award.
I'm here for good stories and people who make me laugh. Reach out.
