I'm an Executive Producer, Director, and Journalist in the doc and non-fiction space, based in Los Angeles. My career in the industry started with the special opportunity of being a part of a small team that launched the MTV network in Canada where I led the development and production of MTV News by introducing it as a regular segment in interstitials and online, as its first Reporter/Producer, before adapting MTV News into a daily half-hour program that ran successfully for almost a decade. Known for my extraordinary research and ability for candid and entertaining conversations, I've conducted hundreds of memorable and widely-shared interviews with a multitude of talent, including Donald Glover, Coldplay, Oasis, Vampire Weekend, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, and Adele.

After winning a Travel Journalism Award for Best in Broadcast for the special, MTV News Pounds Britain, I created and produced SHARLENE VS., a travel series where artists in music, TV/film, and arts + culture took me under their wing to experience their favorite local spots around the world that had made great impact on their lives. Locations explored on the show included Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Austin, Lyon, London, Isle of Wight, Iceland, and Portugal. Along with an accompanying travel blog and website, SHARLENE VS. aired in prime-time on MTV.

Notably, in 2023, I won an Emmy for Best Human Interest – Long Form Content for the documentary The Movement to Save New York's Chinatown as well as gold recognitions at the 2024 Anthem Awards and the 2024 Shorty Impact Awards for the doc series Food Heroes for First We Feast. Both series featured unsung heroes in disregarded, marginalized communities who are pushing for positive social change through food. Other projects include unscripted series for networks and studios such as Spotify, Paramount+, Complex Networks, and Warner Bros., branded/promo videos for Netflix, Urban Decay, and TED, and partnerships with non-profits such as Define American, No Us Without You, and Down North Foundation.
