My current project is Directing, Producing, and Writing The Construct: Female Laborers and the Fight for Equality, which follows Burmese female construction workers and how their stories relate to the country’s broader fight for gender equality. Female construction workers are widespread throughout Myanmar. The Construct will examine how, if at all, a woman leading the country changes and impacts the lives of everyday women. 

As an NBC Summer Fellow I developed and implemented a new social media strategy that created some of the most popular posts on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. I also coordinated callers for the show, researched stocks, and wrote lower thirds that aired with the callers. I wrote articles for CNBC.com and wrote Youtube blurbs, social media posts and on air promos.

As Executive Producer and anchor, I curate content and oversee the pre-production and production processes. We create bi-monthly satire news episodes that explore current events in the broader world and on campus. 

As a host of the international TV Show Eco Company I traveled across California interviewing environmental change makers. I helped to produce segments by scouting shooting locations, training new hosts, writing interview questions and researching stories.
