Halle Hazzard

I am a writer and documentary filmmaker driven to inspire, inform, and spark positive change. As a first-generation Caribbean American, I’ve grown up navigating two cultures—a journey that has allowed me to find the beauty in people and different ways of life. My curiosity of the world, coupled with my desire to continue finding my voice is what motivates me to be a documentarian. 

As a graduate of the University of Southern California’s School of Journalism, I am the co-producer, director, and editor of the USC Impact documentary Finding Balance, a story that follows an aspiring actress and model as she navigates and heals from the mental and emotional trauma she experienced as an elite gymnast. The film aired on Spectrum News 1 in 2023, reaching over 6 million households across Southern California. Beyond journalism, I am a former professional track and field athlete and a 2024 Paris Olympian. In the future, I plan to continue traveling the world and inspiring others through my work.
