I am an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker and podcast host. My film PICTURE A SCIENTIST (2020), about women scientists fighting sexual harassment, was nominated for a 2022 News & Documentary EMMY and was distributed on NOVA (PBS) and Netflix. FROM THIS DAY FORWARD (2015), an autobiography about growing up with a transgender parent, was a New York Times Critic's Pick and was distributed on POV (PBS), Netflix, SundanceNow, Amazon, and iTunes. I'm the cohost of the Spotify podcast CONVICTION: AMERICAN PANIC, about a family caught up in the 'satanic panic' of the 1990s. The subject of the podcast was exonerated in part due to our reporting. I was a producer on the EMMY-nominated Netflix Original Documentary series FOLLOW THIS and the co-creator of the EMMY-nominated New York Times Op Docs paper puppet science film series 'ANIMATED LIFE.' I was one of DOC NYC and HBO Documentaries’ 40 UNDER 40 filmmakers for 2021. I live in Brooklyn, NY with my husband and toddler.
