I’m a filmmaker and photographer at the intersection of art and science; knowledge and purpose.
My work has two key objectives: creating equity within outdoor adventure and turning science into stories. The projects that mean the most to me are the ones that inspire change, push boundaries, and break down barriers.
As an outdoors professional and scientist first, I feel most comfortable in the field and love long days in hard to reach places. I'm an Advanced Operations-certified and insured drone pilot, wilderness first-aider, former varsity athlete, and licensed commercial bus/truck driver, as well as an avid paddler, skier, runner, and cyclist.
I'm currently based in Hamilton, Canada and available for projects worldwide. I always enjoy meeting new people and hearing new ideas. Let's chat.

My work is innately tied to the land. I live and work on land included in the Between the Lakes Treaty #3 (1792) and is the traditional territory of the Anishinabewaki, Haudenosaunee, and Attawandaron people, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Ojibwa, and the Huron-Wendat – now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, Métis, and settler peoples.
