  Overview of scholarly research/creative activity:  For the past five years, I have filmed and documented a group of teens with genetic disabilities. The final film will be completed at the end of 2020
  
  Specific projects working on:   "Queen Moorea" carries important creative significance as the first coming-of-age documentary about young adults with genetic syndromes. Moorea is a young woman with Williams syndrome. Moorea’s boyfriend Jordan is high-functioning autistic, and her best friend Arianna has arthrogryposis and ocular motor apraxia. In high school, the teens work hard to appear “normal,” with “normal problems.” Queen Moorea explores the search for love, the complexity of family dependency, and the desire to find one’s true purpose.
