My work centers on the values of culture and community in dialogue with art and storytelling to champion positive change. I was lead impact producer for the documentary The Territory, and the fiction feature How To Blow Up A Pipeline. I am part of Doc Society's Climate Story Fund strategist bench. As an impact producer and strategist I focus on amplifying the knowledge, stories, and lived experiences of peoples and communities nurturing meaningful and enduring relationships. Through my creative endeavors and partnerships with fellow creators, my commitment lies in advancing human development rooted in social justice values, in harmony with all species and the planet. //

Eu trabalho como artista, estrategista e produtora de impacto na interseção entre cultura e justiça social, aproveitando o poder da arte e narrativas para impulsionar mudanças positivas. Liderei a campanha de impacto do documentário The Territory, e do longa-metragem de ficção How To Blow Up A Pipeline. Como produtora de impacto e estrategista, foco em amplificar o conhecimento, as histórias e as vivências de povos e comunidades, nutrindo relações baseadas no cuidado e reciprocidade. Através dos meus esforços criativos e parcerias com outros criadores, meu foco está em promover o desenvolvimento humano baseado em valores de justiça social, em harmonia com todas as espécies e o planeta.
