New york Film Festival
Volunteer
During the 61st New York Film Festival I assisted the Senior Volunteer Coordinator as a "Volunteer Rover" by providing support and filling in for various departments when help was needed. In this dynamic position, I served on the Special Events, Partnerships & Advertising, and Production teams performing tasks that included setting up for the festival, checking in and directing VIP guests, aiding sponsorship representatives, and most importantly, representing the face of NYFF.

Playing with Dolls
Executive Producer & Editor
I produced and edited feature length film Playing with Dolls, an independent documentary about the transgender community of color in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York City from the 1970s to present. The film combines archival videos and recently shot interview footage of New Yorkers who lived through the era to share and uncover their unique stories.

DOCUMENTARY WORK
