Story Consultant, 2021
Friends of the Children Portland provides a qualified, full-time mentor to at-risk youth in the Portland area; the non-profit celebrates their work during the annual Friendraiser fundraising campaign. I was hired to direct interviews and craft a story to tell during the hour-plus virtual event. Learn about Amen – a graduating youth headed toward degrees in social justice and law; Julian – a comedian who’s mentor helped him and his teachers harness his energy for positive growth; and Zade – who’s family has appreciated FOTC’s dedication.

The men of the Clean and Sober Motorcycle Club maintain sobriety in their own way. Many have been to hell and back, but these caring, compassionate people are a positive influence in Eugene, Oregon, and consistently defy the negative stereotype sometimes associated with being in a motorcycle club.
Along the Route of the Whale
In 2013, a group of students from the University of Oregon traveled to Uruguay to document the work of the Organization for the Conservation of Cetaceans. This non-governmental group works in Uruguay to preserve the migration route of Southern Atlantic Right Whales from threats such as over-fishing, oil drilling and tourism. Here are some of the stories we gathered from those travels.
