Many of her films focus on telling the stories of often marginalized individuals with the goal of creating a greater understanding between different groups of people. At 21, she formed her own production company, Prize Box Productions. Mental health, discrimination and immigration are just a few of the topics her films have drawn inspiration from. In 2018, her short film “Foggy Sky,” began airing on PBS stations. She currently has a B.A. in Communication Studies from Nova Southeastern University.
