How do stories shape what people believe is possible?

I’m a two-time Emmy-winning producer and social anthropologist exploring how stories shape the way we see ourselves, one another, and what comes next.

Today, I lead Upworthy Studios, developing entertainment alongside Upworthy’s audience of 17 million people, stories that spark connection, challenge assumptions, and expand our sense of real-world possibility.

My work spans television, documentary, and digital storytelling, with credits including Returning the Favor, Netflix’s Get Organized with The Home Edit, and collaborations with Saturday Night Live, TED, and the United Nations.

I founded Common Ground Studios to bring my background in anthropology and entertainment together, creating stories rooted in human connection.

Stories shape culture. Culture shapes possibility.
