On this Veteran’s Day, I want to share work I did for students at under the direction of Eliana Green and Andrew Stroth from Irene Chavez, a US army veteran, died under the custody of the Chicago Police Department. Iris Chavez shares more about her sister, and information on an individual’s rights if arrested, especially around the consent decree’s Crisis Intervention provisions.

My cutie Mom and I went to the Emmys! ❤️ As a daughter of Filipino immigrants, this means the world. 🙏

I am filled with so much gratitude to the all female Open House Chicago team for letting me be a part of it all! ❤️✈️🎥

It was so inspiring to see the endless, beautiful pieces up for nomination! And how competitive it can be to win! 🤪 Now I definitely want to come back for another shot!🤣

Someone pinch me! Really proud to share that I shot and edited this episode of Mama I Made It by Samantha Chatman ❤️ Samantha sits down and interviews Tamron Hall. There were so many great moments and points of reflection--if you are a fan of Tamron, starting from her time in Chicago, this is a definite must see 😊

Totally guilty for having SO. MUCH. FUN! 🥳 From unique lighting, camera angles and movements, to working with this creative bunch — it was a beautiful way to kick off the beginning of this year!

The first video is some of my favorite behind the scenes moments during rehearsal! 🤣🤣🤣 And the second was the final video shown at the Lip Sync for Life event which raises funds for their Excellence in Care grants program and supports Chicagoland service agencies that are helping those affected and living with HIV/AIDS.

Many thanks to for letting me be part of your creativity vortex!

Really enjoyed the Griffith Observatory in black and white and would actually consider framing some of these, which is pretty rare! 🤣 Which one would you pick for a big print?
