About Me

I am a two-time EMMY® award-winning Filipino-American immigrant multimedia producer and director based in Detroit, Michigan.

My work focuses on capturing authentic, immersive human interest stories especially from underrepresented perspectives. I am co-founder of Reel Clever Films LLC, a boutique production company specializing in non-fiction storytelling and branded content. With over ten years of high level expertise in the film and video production industry, I have produced an immersive body of work for the media, non-profit and education sector, Fortune 500 companies, the local creative arts and small business communities, and leading political and civic advocacy organizations. My work has received two Michigan Emmy awards, as well as exhibited and juried in various local, international, and Academy-qualifying film festivals.

I participated in a few key labs and fellowships, namely the New York Foundation for the Arts’ Immigrant Artist Program, the Sundance Institute Creative Producing Lab (Detroit), and Firelight Media’s Groundwork Lab. I am a part of Brown Girls Doc Mafia, as well as the Asian-American Documentary Network. In 2021, I served as the Supervising Producer for “Shifting Urban Narratives”, a multimedia fellowship for young Detroiters by Wayne State University and the Schultz Family Foundation to tell their stories about change, resilience, joy, and community development. In 2022, I worked with women-led production house MAJORITY to co-direct “Year One of the Biden-Harris Administration” for the Biden-Harris Inaugural Committee.

Some of my recent projects as producer & director include the Webby-nominated "Senghor Reid: Make Way for Tomorrow" for the second season of PBS American Masters' and Firelight Media's "In The Making" Series; “Into the Sugarbush” an official selection for the TED Countdown Summit in Detroit, and “WELL” a narrative-documentary hybrid film funded by Black Public Media and is official selection for the 2024 BronzeLens Film Festival in Atlanta.
