A Seat at the Table is an award-winning 24-lesson program exploring sensitive topics in the workplace through an unscripted roundtable discussion. From gender equality and ageism to white privilege, learners will better understand these social issues and how to model conversations constructively at work.
CASE STUDY: In February 2020, I took on the role of producer and director to develop and create a pilot episode of a new program, called A Seat at the Table. We navigated challenges on the COVID-19 pandemic to revive the project in 2021. Recognizing its potential, the first season was expanded from an initial six episodes to eight. This success led to further investment, and we went on to produce two additional seasons, completing them in 2022 and 2023.
A Seat at the Table has won 9 Telly Awards for excellence in corporate training. 🏆

Missions of Health was a nonprofit organization I started and ran for 3 years working in Pallisa, Uganda. Our goal was to bring health and well-being to the most underserved people and areas of our world.
Partnering with local doctors and leaders, Missions of Health was formed as a nonprofit organization to aid and expand local clinics in the areas of disease prevention, community development & primary care assistance. I led international trips, built fundraising teams, developed business plans, and budget forecasts, partnered with the National Institute of Health for research projects, coordinated medical supplies from US hospitals, and spoke at numerous events to raise awareness and support for our cause.
In just a few years, a small, one-building clinic became a full-functioning hospital, surgical center, and nursing school with over 400 resident students. It currently serves as the highest standard of care in the area.

CASE STUDY: Every brand tells a story—sometimes through a completely new narrative, other times with subtle adjustments. This project was a brand evolution: a slight refresh of our logo and colors that marked a significant shift in attitude and positioning. We embraced the idea of naming our colors, signaling that while some elements were new and bold (like Koral with a K and an infinity symbol in our logo), the brand remained familiar and approachable. This balanced approach to change reinforced that a small shift can have a powerful impact.
In addition to producing the launch video, I updated our video brand guidelines for freelancers, agencies, and internal teams. This ensured consistency, strengthened brand loyalty, and helped reduce long-term production costs.
