Hi there!

I am a Brooklyn-based producer and editor with a passion for socially-conscious and human-centered stories that educate, inspire, and make a difference. My experience as a child of Vietnamese refugees and my work in public health have motivated me to highlight underrepresented voices, raise awareness about health and social issues, and promote positive change through nonfiction storytelling.

I can produce, direct, write, interview, shoot, and edit — I love the filmmaking process from start to finish! Bridging over a decade of experience across documentary film, branded video content, social impact communications, and public health, I have worked on a variety of topic areas including but not limited to: women’s health and reproductive rights, autism, animal rights, cancers of all kinds (such as lung, breast, cervical, brain, etc.), chronic illnesses like diabetes, vaccinations, addiction, and natural disasters.

I’ve worked with clients ranging from large healthcare companies such as Sanofi, Pfizer, Biogen, and Seagen to nonprofit organizations such as the Rockefeller Foundation. The latest feature documentary film I’ve worked on called MILES TO GO BEFORE SHE SLEEPS, about a tenacious Chinese animal activist, is currently on the film festival circuit and was recently awarded Best Feature Documentary at the Big Apple Film Festival.

In addition to my graduate certificate in documentary filmmaking from The Documentary Center at George Washington University (GW), I have a Master’s degree from the GW Milken Institute School of Public Health in communications and marketing and a Bachelor’s degree from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find me chasing my next travel adventure, capturing aerial footage with my drone, and cuddling my dog Sonny.

Collaborating with Pauline on a video overview for Cayaba Care's program was truly a fantastic experience. Pauline's valuable insights and suggestions added immense value throughout the process, showcasing her passion for her work. Her dedication to the project was palpable, and I was consistently impressed by her expertise and professionalism. I 100% recommend Pauline for any video content needs.
Nitasha Mehta, Cayaba Care
Pauline is one of the finest producers I've ever collaborated with, blending a keen understanding of production with an innate creative sensibility and a trained cinematic eye. I can also vouch for her as a travel partner -- our work together took us to some less than glamorous shoots, and Pauline was unfailingly focused, full of cheer, up for the challenge, and ready to work regardless of the circumstances. Truly an exceptional talent and the kind of person you want with you on the road and in the studio.
Stefanie Gunning
Pauline has an infectious passion for stories that matter and translates this passion into compelling video narratives that engage and enrich their audiences. She has a unique talent for video copywriting, and really understands how to marry the technical aspects of video creation with the creative aspects. She also has an incredible eye for visuals and is extremely capable when it comes to all post-production needs, including but not limited to video editing, sound mixing, and animation. It’s rare to find a producer as talented as Pauline, but even rarer to find one who cares so much about their work and the stories they tell. She is a true powerhouse that every team would be lucky to have.
Gina Echevarria
Pauline is an incredible videographer with an eye for detail and human-centered storytelling. She filmed my nonprofit’s Wellness Summit, and throughout the process, she captured the most important elements of the programming and accurately portrayed the vision we had for the event. She’s a great partner on storytelling and helped ideate the concept of the video from start to finish, including scripting, shot placement, and editing. On the day of the event, the process for filming was so seamless and her advanced planning helped us reach the best possible outcome for the video.
Victoria Ifan, Legacies Live On
I was impressed with Pauline's professionalism, her passion for the work and the end product was some of the best work I've seen. I highly recommend hiring Pauline to create video content for you - not only will she create a product that will meet or exceed your expectations, but she will also share thoughtful suggestions, manage countless logistics flawlessly and have fun doing it, too.
Amanda Loughran
Pauline is one of those rare people who has an amazing knack for project management details, and also has an incredible creative eye. She played a major role in the creative direction for our film content, and also managed planning and production elements from soup to nuts -- which resulted in a really beautiful video campaign that resonated with both our clients and the patient community. Pauline is absolutely wonderful to work with!
Rachel Forsyth
Not only did Pauline make every single patient (and colleague) comfortable before and during the filming, she also has an amazing sense of identifying creative dialogue and impactful shots to take in real-time. In post-production, Pauline was very efficient and also offered great recommendations for clips and more. It was truly a pleasure working with her and I would enjoy working with her again in the future!
