…But First, Let’s Take a Look at my Journey
1989-1992
Where It All Began
My passion for filmmaking came from dancing, music and the love of music videos. That’s why I decided to go to university for a BA (Honors) in Television Production, Cinematography - Performing Arts. I was delighted to be awarded a scholarship to study at London Studio Centre - Middlesex University.
As a choreographer, I worked with lots of artists (singers and dancers) and was eventually asked to direct music video shoots and edit the footage.
1999-2008
From Dance To Film
During this time I owned Rhythm Nation Studios, a prestigious performing arts school. (I even taught dance to students who have gone on to become well-known celebrities…)
I started making the switch from dance to filmmaking. With filmmaking, I’m still choreographing and making movement. I use the same creative process but with timed moving images instead of live onstage.
2006-2009
Then Hollywood Came Calling
When my agent contacted me that there was a position open for a Casting Producer on the Simon Cowell shows - American Idol and America’s Got Talent- I knew this dream position would help shape my career.
They were looking for someone with a background in performing arts AND film editing…essentially, they weren’t looking for me. During my time with the show, I worked closely with the Executive Producers to bring A-list talent to the show, as well as do national auditions and interviews.
In 2008 I started to harness my skills by building my own social media presence on LinkedIn. Today I have over 14,000 LinkedIn followers!
2010-2012
My Career Started Seeing Stars
My career as a producer and editor continued as I worked to create over 30 worldwide TV commercials and music videos. I’ve worked with celebrities including Simon Cowell, Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, David Hasselhoff, Olympian Sprinter - Michael Johnson, Eminem, Dr Dre, and Kylie Minogue.
And I’ve worked alongside creative agencies like TBWA, Ogilvy & Mather, Leo Burnett, BBH & Saatchi & Saatchi. Not to mention Sony, Capitol, Universal, and Virgin/EMI record labels.
2011
Transferring Emotions Into Film
I embarked on one of the most impactful projects of my career. I created a documentary film for Jim White Enterprises that was featured at Los Angeles Holocaust Museum.
The film is called “The Escape to Freedom” the story of Yona Goldrich and his brother escape from Poland. Life for the boy was a desperate struggle to survive and a constant, heartbreaking search to reunite with his family.
It was quite emotional to put this film together and understand what someone went through during the Holocaust.

Communicate Video Production Is Born

Sharing My Skills With The World

2022
Accolades And A Bright Future
The film, “My Empty Chair” was a Documentary Film Finalist at the Micheaux Film Festival in Los Angeles and Boston Film Festival.
I really enjoyed taking up the challenge of creating this film. The accolades I received mean a lot to me and showcase my professionalism. But, being able to help my client tell her story and teach others to help keep these cases from being repeated, is the real reward.
Today
Over the past few years, I’ve experienced a lot of growth. I’ve built a team of experts in the UK code of broadcast advertising. I became YouTube certified and reached 10K followers on Twitter.
Throughout the years I’ve accomplished a lot while going through exciting challenges and changes. I use all my years of experience to help your business build strong communications through compelling video content.
