She is dedicated to making both the media industry and the way we access information more accessible and responsive to the needs of the public. She currently works with City Bureau as the Development Manager, dreaming up new ways our media ecosystems can function. In the past, she was a producer, cinematographer and editor for Skill Scout, an organization dedicated to telling meaningful workplace stories and making the job application more accessible through video storytelling, and she worked in communications at Free Spirit Media, a media education non-profit that works to equip young people of color with the tools to craft their own narratives.
In her free time, she’s a community organizer with Filipino/a/x anti-imperialist youth organization, Anakbayan Chicago, and works as the documentarian and community archivist at a local mutual aid and arts organization, Axis Lab. Past projects include photographing the critical work of Black and brown birthworkers in Chicago, capturing stories for an oral history archive of stories of Native Americans living in Chicago (housed at the Newberry Library), producing a documentary about a cumbia band of undocumented immigrants who organize for change, and filming for a documentary TV show in Johannesburg, South Africa that covered on solutions-focused stories within a city still experiencing the aftershock of apartheid.
