Directing

I specialize in directing short form media, sketch comedy and behind-the-scenes content.

The Late Late Show

As the resident director for the digital team at The Late Late Show with James Corden, I've directed interviews and comedy sketches with the biggest stars in entertainment. Recently, I directed and produced a documentary series about the show's place in the legacy of Late Night TV. 

The 66th & 67th GRAMMY Awards

For the last two years, I've partnered with Fulwell Entertainment to direct and produce segments of the impressive broadcasts with incredible talent. This included performance artist pre-tapes - working in collaboration with a visual director, and small business stories - pairing local business owners with celebrity talent for a charitable cause.

LA28 Handover

I had the unique and rewarding opportunity to direct and produce behind-the-scenes and marketing content for the 2024 LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Handover events. Featuring interviews with Tom Cruise, H.E.R., and world-renowned athletes, the segments were broadcast to tens of millions of people in addition to supporting the live event online.
