SOLO VIDEO JOURNALIST

Every story on this page was built from the ground up: reported, shot, written, and edited by me.

These are enterprise stories, produced with intention and craft. Many were shaped by the storytelling principles I’ve developed through the NPPA Quarterly Clips Contest, the Advanced Storytelling Workshop (2021) and News Video Workshop (2024). That means character-driven narratives, strong natural sound, thoughtful pacing, and visual sequences that carry the story forward.

This is where the full MMJ skill set comes to life.
