Discerning Leadership
In my recent work co-editing a leadership book and interviewing 10 authors, I’ve worked on turning voices into stories and connecting audiences. These short-form podcasts move beyond content curation into co-creating authentic stories through artist and author profiling, a niche I am passionate about and continue to refine.

The Power of Dance
The Power of Dance project works to uplift voices of dance instructors and how dance may be perceived as communication, or rather, a bridge between mind, body and spirit, for dancers and individuals alike. Across the project, I interviewed five dancers and listened to their stories. I’m currently working on Episode 3 of the Power of Dance.

Mixed Methods
Documentary
The Power of Dance is a mixed methods project. I launched this audio project where I interview dancers who speak about the self-communication which dance and movement provide. Alongside the Power of Dance Podcast and documentary, I conducted a qualitative research study using ethnographic methods, like interviews and observation.
