THE IVY GRACE PROJECT
2022
Weeks before the 2022 midterms elections, my small team and I traveled to South Carolina to share the heartbreaking story of Jill, a Christian, Republican woman from Moncks Corner, SC, who made the painful choice to have an abortion following a fetal anomaly diagnosis (HLHS) in a post-Roe v. Wade world. Victimized by the government of South Carolina, she was forced to carry her pregnancy 49 days longer than what was typical before the Roe reversal, and was required to seek this medical care outside of her home state. This is her story.

NEXT LEVEL APPAREL x HEAL THE BAY
2022
Heal the Bay is an environmental nonprofit established in 1985 that is dedicated to making the coastal waters safe, healthy, and clean. They not only take action (like hosting beach clean ups like this) but they also provide education and keep our community informed about water quality grades and safety. Next Level Apparel chose to partner with Heal the Bay because in short, they love Heal the Bay's mission.

SHE CAN'T CONTROL HERSELF
2020
During COVID I volunteered with Girl's Voices Now, a program that empowers girls and femme-identifying youth from low-income and arts-underserved communities in Los Angeles to find, develop and use their voices for positive social change through filmmaking. The student filmmakers scripted and filmed the video and delivered a rough cut to me, where I then worked with them to edit their final video. Due to the nature of life in 2020, this entire project was done remote.
