​My work in film and television started nearly two decades ago in the camera department, learning the craft on 35mm film sets. Working as a loader and camera assistant on productions like Mad Max: Fury Road, Black Sails, and Homeland gave me a deep appreciation for technical discipline, patience, and attention to detail—habits I bring to every set today. 

Over the last six years, I’ve transitioned into camera operating across unscripted television, working on global reality franchises such as Survivor (SA: Philippines & Samoa), Love Island (UK, Australia, & SA), and The Real Housewives.

Whether following candid moments on location or adapting to live action as it unfolds, my goal is always the same: to combine thoughtful visual storytelling with the quick instincts needed for unscripted and scripted.
