I create media for children and the children at heart.
I have worked on over 100 hours of television, feature films, shorts, music videos, commercials, and interactive content.
I create because I want to connect with YOU.
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, and raised between the islands and Canada left me with a global point of view, a love of nature, and a a thirst for stories.
I love the spectacle and participation of storytelling.
I am an alumna of the Canadian Film Centre, Berlinale Talent Campus, Children's Media at Centennial, and ReelWorld's Emerging 20.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, and raised between the islands and Canada left me with a global point of view, a love of nature, and a a thirst for stories.
I love the spectacle and participation of storytelling.
I am an alumna of the Canadian Film Centre, Berlinale Talent Campus, Children's Media at Centennial, and ReelWorld's Emerging 20.
As a storyteller,
I use characters and humour to explore themes of:
identity, courage, family, relationships,
myth, magic, nature, and science
all find their way into the stories I tell.
