About me
I tell stories that make people stop, listen – and act. I started my career behind the camera, producing documentaries and human-interest features across the U.S. and Africa. But the deeper I got into the work, the more I was drawn to what happened after the story aired. I wanted to help shape what came next. That pull led me to humanitarian communications, advocacy, and partnerships, where I now work with organizations and communities to tell stories that carry impact, dignity, and momentum.

    Great session - Ben helped me prep for a job interview. We also worked on running through my experience and CV. The human touch really helped to make the reframing feel more authentic and puts me in a much stronger position. It was a quick but productive session!

    Thank you so much, Ben! I was getting lost with all the AI noise, I really needed the expertise and nuance of an experienced professional to help me revamp my CV and to boost my preparedness for an interview. I'm a lot more confident after my session and will for sure book another in the future!
