I am honored to share that I received a trifecta of awards this semester for my teaching and creative work! Last night, I won the @ucfnscm Outstanding Teaching Award alongside my MFA student @mariovl91 who won for his feature documentary! Earlier this semester, I received the @ucfsciences Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award and the OSCAR: Outstanding Scholarship, Creative Activity, and Research Award! I am so grateful for the support of my colleagues and collaborators, as well as the students who continue to inspire me every day. #professor #filmmaker #mentor @ucffilm

I am so proud of my junior and senior BFA Documentary Production students! They have worked tirelessly since August to create these brave, insightful, and moving short docs. Please join me on Saturday, May 2nd from 4-6:50pm in NSCM 101 for our End-of-the-Year Showcase of their outstanding films! The program will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers. @ucffilm @ucfnscm #documentary #indiefilm #BFAfilm #student

We won the Award for Outstanding LGBTQ+ Representation at Nevada Women’s Film Festival last night! Thank you to everyone at @nwffest for a truly fantastic experience! Big thanks to our amazing crew, cast and supporters who helped make “Lesbians in Boystown” a triple-award winning film to date! We could not have done this without you! We hope this award raises more awareness for the film so that the stories of these trailblazing lesbians and queer women can continue to inspire!

As we continue through day 2 of the Nevada Women's Fil Festival, we keep thinking about all of our amazing nominees for this year. Take a look at the nominees for The Spirit of Activism award! We're almost half way through day 2, but there's still time to stop by and check out the remaining films for the day!
