About

I am a freelance wildlife cinematographer based in Alaska, Washington State and the Falkland Islands. I have a variety of remote field experience, both on boats and land, and have set up and run remote field camps in Alaska.

After finishing my Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Ecology at Washington State University and working as a field technician in the rainforests of Madagascar, I completed my Masters in Wildlife Documentary Production in England. I began interning with Mark Emery films and assisting cameramen in the field.

I now work as a cinematographer for companies such as BBC, PBS, Smithsonian, Disney+ and National Geographic. One of the most recent series I’ve filmed on is the National Geographic/Disney+ series ‘Queens’, which recently premiered in March 2024.

I also was a presenter and camerawomen on a children’s conservation series for CBBC in the Falkland Islands on rockhopper penguins. And I self funded, filmed and produced a film with Jack Johnston, called ‘My Alaskan Journey’ which is currently doing the film festival circuit. This film follows family stories around Alaska and included 6 months of remote filming work and logistics in 2019.

As well as filming wildlife on land, I am also a deep- sea video engineer. I was originally trained during an internship with Dr. Robert Ballard’s exploration vessel, Nautilus, controlling the live cameras on ROVs at depths of 4000 meters.

I am a trained guide and naturalist in bear country. I am also a third generation commercial fisherwoman in the largest sockeye salmon run in the world. I run a commercial set net fishing operation in Bristol Bay Alaska and have spent time at remote fishing camps since I was a toddler. I am very comfortable on boats and was fortunate to work for a very talented skipper down in the South Atlantic on a 50-foot sailboat for a southern summer.

I am a FAA certified drone pilot and certified Wilderness First Responder (with Adult, Child, Infant CPR, AED, and Airway Management and Epinephrine Auto-injector). I own and operate my RED Epic-W, canon r5 and drone.
