I am an experienced Producer, Director, Screenwriter, and Social Media Marketing Strategist with field and studio experience on large- and small-scale productions in the United States, England, Ghana, Laos and Thailand. Most recently I produced “The ‘D’ Word: Understanding Dyslexia”, which will premiere at Sundance in 2012.

Since founding D.V.A. Productions in 2006, I have produced and directed short films, promotional videos for corporate and non-profit clients, webinars, and PSAs, and began production on The Eyes of Thailand documentary.

The Eyes of Thailand is a powerful and inspirational film about an elephant hospital in Thailand and one woman’s quest to help 2 elephant landmine survivors walk again. What began with a 2-month trip to Thailand with a video camera has blossomed into a feature-length documentary and I’m happy to announce that we are on schedule to complete the film in February 2012.

When I’m not filming in Thailand and Southeast Asia, I live and work in San Francisco, CA and serve on the Advisory Board for Bay Area Women in Film and Media.
