I produced this video profile on Tahir Johnson, a Trenton canna-business owner who received a social equity grant to start his business after a long history of being targeted in his own neighborhood during the marijuana prohibition era. After this video was released on Governor Murphy’s social media pages, Tahir was asked to be a special guest at the Governor’s budget address.

I’ve helmed a series of legacy videos to highlight the accomplishments of the Murphy Administration. I created this video about the maternal health legacy of New Jersey, featuring a mother and baby who benefited from Family Connects NJ and an interview with the First Lady of New Jersey.

To showcase the Murphy Administration’s legacy on voting rights in New Jersey, I filmed, edited, and produced this video, which included interviews with Lt. Governor Way, Henal Patel from the Institute, and Antonne Henshaw, who was incarcerated for decades. I interviewed Antonne for almost an hour, creating a comfortable space for him to share his story.

For the Governor and the State of New Jersey (@govmurphy and @njgov), I produced, filmed and edited this video about Abdur, who went from being incarcerated decades ago to working to help the incarcerated find jobs post-release, and now his service has been recognized with a pardon by Governor Murphy. I worked with the NJ Department of Corrections to create this video, filming at their facilities with an incarcerated individual.

While scrolling TikTok, I found Billy, a barber who specializes in children on the  autism spectrum or with sensory processing issues, and was moved by his mission. I single handedly created (filmed, lit, edited, etc.) the video, filming it on a professional set-up vertically for TikTok and Reels. After it was posted on NJGov’s platforms for Small Business Week, it became one of NJGov’s most viewed Reels/TikToks ever.

For Amoy Barnes for New York City Council, I worked directly with the candidate and we created her video strategy together. I produced, wrote and directed her launch video, “Face the Morning,” which visualized the daily struggles of Staten Islanders through their morning rituals. Each of these New Yorkers were then given their own, dedicated video vignette and accompanying issue they represented, and were featured on the priorities page of Amoy Barnes’ Website.

For Amoy Barnes’ campaign for city council, I was asked to produce a video featuring a family in NYCHA. My idea was to have this brother and sister interview each other with questions they had never seen before, to capture their real emotional reactions while also informing the audience about their struggles of living in NYCHA.

I directed, filmed, (along with Braulio Lin) and edited this video.

I produced, filmed, co-wrote and directed Assemblymember Grace Lee’s launch video for her inaugural campaign, showing how she makes it happen every day as a mother, activist, and entrepreneur.

One of the initiatives of the State of New Jersey has been to promote the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, “Rev250.” My goal as a video producer is always to go deep on one story (micro) to represent something larger (the macro.) For Rev250, I profiled Pete and Ben, father-and-son re-enactors who have bonded over this pastime since Ben was born. I produced, filmed, and edited this video entirely myself. It was co-posted with @NJGov and the NJ State Parks account.

For Amoy Barnes’s 2021 campaign  for City Council, the campaign wanted a video to explain the newly-established system of ranked-choice voting in NYC elections. So, I produced (wrote, filmed and edited) this upbeat and informative Wes Anderson-style explainer video for ranked choice voting, illustrating how this process works through a class election.

For Governor Hochul’s 2022 campaign, I was the lead video producer for the campaign’s social media accounts. For this video, I filmed this speech and edited together footage I had gathered from the countless rallies and events I attended over the almost year-long campaign. The video not only commemorated the historic win, but also the amazing people behind the victory.

This video exemplified “finding the story” as I highlighted the Target Zero Law, which aims to prevent traffic deaths in New Jersey. I only had an hour to film and interview these mothers before the bill signing. I had to find the story while also being tactful with how I approached this sensitive subject. For this video, I produced, filmed, and edited it, utilizing archival footage.

I produced, filmed (along with Rich Hundley III) and edited this video on the cranberry bogs of New Jersey. We immersed ourselves in the environment, getting into the bogs to capture the multi-generational family story. We used many different cameras for this video, ranging from a drone to a Go-Pro to the Sony and Canon cameras we were wielding, all while trying not to fall into the bogs.

For Dawn Smalls’s 2018 campaign for New York City Public Advocate, I produced (filmed, edited) this video featuring Dawn’s hairstylist describing what he admires about her while doing her hair. The campaign and I both thought it was a unique perspective for a “testimonial” and showed the candidate literally and figuratively with her hair down, in a relatable moment.

As the Digital Content Producer for Governor Kathy Hochul’s campaign, I created over 100 videos for her social media accounts, from the idea to filming to the final edit. I traveled the state with Governor Hochul, producing high-quality work in a fast-paced environment.

As the Digital Content Producer for Governor Kathy Hochul’s 2022 gubernatorial campaign, I produced, filmed, and edited this video for her social media, featuring two enthusiastic canvassers knocking doors and connecting with voters.

In honor of the NJ Governor’s Mansion and the First Lady of New Jersey hosting Día de los Muertos for the first time, I was asked to create a video and take photos. For this video, I was a one-man-band, executing this whole video myself.

For Kenya Handy-Hilliard’s 2021 campaign for city council, I produced, filmed, co-wrote and directed her launch video, showcasing how Handy-Hilliard listens to her community and hears their struggle, featuring a compilation of recorded voices from her district.
