I am a mixed Filipino and Irish media producer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. For my day job, I create videos that make science more accessible to broad audiences. I’ve worked for research institutions across the country, including Stanford University, the American Museum of Natural History, and more.

Combining my educational background in anthropology and my professional background in science communications, I bring a thoughtful lens to every project I work on. I am a creative communicator who specializes in telling stories about everything from science and technology to culture and people. As a media producer, I work start-to-finish, meaning that I concept and pitch video ideas, write scripts and interview subjects, operate cameras and lighting, and edit final deliverables. I’ve often worked on slim and scrappy communications teams which means I’ve also developed marketing strategy to deliver communications to diverse audiences, managed social media strategy and content development, and am a mean project manager.

Outside of work, you can find me practicing martial arts, making jewelry, and firmly insisting that Lord of the Rings was the peak of cinema. My latest obsession is producing my first independent film, “Oakland Ilokana.”
