She has written and produced and co-starred in two short films, Homeward and Departures, and is currently developing a feature. She is also the co-Executive Producer of the Award-Winning web series, Seeking, which recently launched its second season.

In addition to her artistic work, she is currently finishing her Ph.D. from Florida State University School of Theatre. Her dissertation, titled Triple Threat: A Study of American Musical Theatre Training, explores the history, growth, ethics, and progression of BFA musical theatre programs in the United States. Her research interests include race and gender representation in musical theatre, musical adaptation of historic events, and musical theatre training. Forthcoming publications include​ chapters in the books Hamilton: History and Hip-Hop – Essays on an American Musical, Queen Mothers: Articulating the Spirit of Black Women Teacher-Leaders, and Musicals at the Margins, all due to print in 2019.
