My background is primarily in producing non-fiction media in various mediums (I started in film and television) and running media advocacy and education programs (I've run instruction and developed curriculum for podcasting, film, and media all over the world). In my own work, I create playful docu-essayist work that focuses on gender, cultural identity, etiquette, and bonding rituals. I’d like to act as educator, producer, and investigative humorist, using these projects to spark and produce further content from podcast networks and public media outfits about gender identity. I use audio as the foundation for other disciplines in the form of live events, screenings, digital shorts, workshops, and audio installations.
