She is currently in the primary stages of the festival circuit with her short film Bill, which she wrote, produced, and starred in; and is also in post-production for her directorial debut A Boy Like Me. She can be heard narrating a number of New York Times bestsellers on Audible and other audiobook platforms, and works closely with Space Fish Productions, producing a large number of their music video content.
