She recently served as Associate Producer on Documenting Police Use of Force (PBS, 2024), a Frontline and AP collaboration that earned two Emmy nominations and was part of Lethal Restraint, a Pulitzer Prize finalist investigation. She also co-directed and filmed Irse – Leaving Venezuela for Al Jazeera Witness, a short documentary following two mothers fleeing Venezuela’s crisis to give birth safely in Colombia. The film screened at festivals around the world.
