research

I am a skilled and experienced researcher with a multidisciplinary background spanning the hard sciences and liberal arts. I apply rigorous quantitative and qualitative research methods to make sense of complex questions and provide the foundation for compelling documentary filmmaking.

 

My research expertise focuses on U.S. immigration policies.

​

I offer research support for documentary projects, helping filmmakers identify stories, gather evidence, and shape information into engaging, fact-based storytelling.
