George Hacks is a student run organization that brings together STEM students from across the DMV area to test their problem-solving skills in real world scenarios. For approximately 32 hours straight, competitors devise solutions to contemporary issues and present an actionable and feasible concept to industry experts. This year, I was tasked with filming the entire process and conducting interviews to understand exactly what such a task entails.


In honor of Women's History Month, I challenged myself to create a four-part video series highlighting impactful women throughout the D.C. Fire and EMS Department who have pioneered gender equality throughout the emergency response sector. By giving them a platform through which to share their experiences and advice and shadowing their roles in the Department, I aimed to confront traditional stereotypes and honor the work being done by members to do reverse expectation on a daily basis.


Every year, George Washington University hosts a Midnight Breakfast where students come together for a night of fun before finals, complete with laser tag, a full arcade, karaoke, study buddies, and more. This year, I was responsible for filming all the activities throughout the night and editing it into a montage to be released the following morning on all University platforms.


First Gen Week is an annual tradition at George Washington University to create a space for students to honor their successes and navigate college. As a multimedia production intern for the GWU Office of Marketing, I assisted in documenting the week-long celebration and edited together the final piece for use as promotional material both by the university and the First Gen United organization.

At the beginning of last year, I became fascinated with aerial photography and videography, ultimately earning my commercial drone pilots license so I could further explore the techniques that I was so intrigued by. I aimed to incorporate them into whatever project I could, including this one, which highlights an installation piece at the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach. Dozens of Dreyfoos students spent all day placing 9,000 utility flags in the ground to perfect the piece, all while I documented the process from beginning to end.

Going into my senior year of high school, I had one goal: create my second LipDub but do it bigger and better than before. Though we filmed during Spirit Week in March 2023, planning began in July 2022 as I met with administration, my crew, and School Board members to plan out each detail and flush out the logistics. With a team of the school's most talented filmmakers and creatives, we spent months devising different ways to showcase the spirit of our campus, incorporating clubs, the spring musical, student accomplishments, and much, much more. Ultimately, I couldn't be prouder with how it turned out and to call it my last legacy at Dreyfoos.

Ever since I first heard this song, I knew I wanted to find a way to incorporate it into a film and took my semester exam as the perfect opportunity to do so. Focusing on elements of cinematography, I chose to go down the experimental route where I could challenge myself to create a cohesive yet imaginative story — while simultaneously crossing things off my film bucket list, such as trying new low light techniques (and forcing my actress into the shower fully clothed).
