I also have a YouTube channel and website, Awake in the A.M., dedicated to film criticism.I worked as a Screenwriting Tutor for Broward College, assisting students over Zoom with script fundamentals for both screenwriting workshop courses. As an Archives and Film Research Intern for Sundance, I surveyed the institute's digital archives to compile a list of influential Institute-supported BIPOC filmmakers. From this, I curated a filmography and supporting documentation to highlight impactful artist stories and career trajectories.As a Her Campus contributing Nationals writer under the wellness vertical, I covered topics including entertainment, mental health, sex, and relationships and conducted several interviews for profiles. I am also interested in film curating and programming internships and opportunities!
