THE MAGIC OF MEN'S GYM - This series will delve into the history and legacy of the pickup games at UCLA’s Men’s gym in the 80s and 90s where legends and legacy were born. 

TRAILBLAZERS, a scripted documentary series based on the Harlem Renaissance era of Basketball, its cultural blend of sport, music and dance, and the racism that pervaded America, 

culminating in 1950 when the NBA signed its first African-American players.

Her creative vision was seen on full display when she conceived and produced LA SPARKS STRONG WOMEN SHORT. This video not only showcased the women of the Sparks and all of the beautiful intersectionalities of their identity, but was a statement against the misogyny and sexism that still occurs to these world renowned athletes who had just won a WNBA championship. The video and

campaign garnered over a million views on social media and got national press coverage.
