A Reflective Intervention
A Reflective Intervention (2020) is an interactive documentary I created as part of a year-long project, which documents and engages members of Generation Z about their core beliefs, reflecting on generational shifts in ideas and practices.
This project was recognized as one of four Periclean Scholars Awards. Described by the committee as “nothing short of a remarkable accomplishment in storytelling.. demonstrating technical mastery, artistic sensibility, and a unique convergence of a wide range of perspectives. It challenges the audience not only to become active participants, but also to become cocreators of meaning, as you explore contemporary morality."

Pass the Mic
Founded in 2017 by myself and three of my peers, Pass the Mic is a student-run platform and community on Skidmore's Campus for people of color, people with disabilities, international, immigrant, refugee, LGBTQ+, and economically disadvantaged folks to share their unfiltered experiences. Each week we invite a different student or faculty member to share art, stories, information, issues, and more to ignite discussion and awareness on our campus and beyond.
Now embarking on our 7th season, our four-person team has grown to 15 student hosts, producers, editors, designers, DJ's, and photographers; our weekly show and exclusive content has featured over 80 guests, and our reach has expanded beyond 5,000 listeners spread across 50 countries and cities.
