I am a Laguna-Pueblo filmmaker based in Brooklyn, New York and specialize in documentaries about contemporary indigenous issues. I have been a member of the media for more than a decade, serving in such roles as an award-winning television news journalist and anchorwoman for CBS News affiliates; as a senior-level producer for the public television outlet, Brooklyn Information + Culture; and as the daily host and producer of the Public Radio International syndicate, National Native News.
My current project is a documentary focused on the 400 villagers of Kivalina, Alaska--a tiny Inupiat community whose ancient homeland is being swallowed by the sea. The film is a project supported by the Native American Public Telecommunications organization (NAPT) and the National Geographic All Roads Film Project.
My story-telling has been awarded by the Associated Press, the National Broadcasters Association, the Telly Awards, and most recently, by the American Indian Film Institute for the short documentary I directed and produced, MODERN DAY WARRIORS (2008). I am a current recipient of the 2009 Firelight Media Producer's Lab, a current fellow of the 2009 Minority Consortia’s New Media Institute and a 2008 fellow of the CPB/PBS Producer’s Academy. I earned my BA in English/Communications-Broadcasting from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado.
