Be it working 40 hours Thursday through Sunday and then becoming a full-time student Monday through Wednesday - or having different jobs at the same time - I've had an array of work experiences. Be it content creator, administrative assistant, dog walker, IT support assistant, translator and transcriber, brand and social media manager, the list goes on. However, I've experienced the most professional and personal growth in the field I am most passionate about: journalism.
Below, you can find some highlights of my work as a journalist.

Producing, editing, and presenting my film One, Two, Many: Overtourism in Hawaii
Hawaii has been a travel hotspot for decades. But how much longer can it run under business as usual? With overtourism disrupting everyday life, how can the Paradise of the Pacific continue to satisfy locals and visitors alike, while preserving its natural harmony?
I filmed in Hawaii during January 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out across the United States. Editing and post-production were done from home throughout April and May after NYU closed their facilities for the school year in response to the pandemic.
