From the Bottom Up
Facing a wave of retirements in the wastewater treatment industry, King County's Wastewater Treatment Division transformed its approach to workforce development to recruit and train the next generation of talent.
I’m a nonfiction filmmaker who has made stories that move people for the past 15 years.
I’ve spent the better part of a decade documenting stories about the natural world and efforts to repair humankind’s connection with it — most recently at King County’s Department of Natural Resources & Parks, and before that as a journalist for PBS and NPR outlets.

As a staff reporter for Earthfix, I covered environmental stories across the Pacific Northwest for public media outlets — such as Cascade PBS (then KCTS9), KUOW, and Oregon Public Broadcasting — and national shows PBS NewsHour and NPR’s Here and Now. Here is a collection of that work.
