A graduate of USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, Audrey has produced and championed projects for television, documentary film, and social impact for which she has been awarded numerous grants and awards allowing her team to uncover untold and under-represented stories on every continent. Some of her most recent projects include The Pamoja Project — which screened at festivals around the world and garnered incredible praise, both critically and for it’s dynamic and broadly applicable social impact strategy— and Mind Over Battle, a TV-Documentary that premiered worldwide on Al Jazeera Witness. Currently Audrey works for Devlo Media where she produces a wide range of content including: documentary shorts, branded content, photography, multi-part features, special event coverage and more.  Before joining Devlo Media, Audrey worked for Creative Visions, a non-profit focused on supporting creative activism. While there, she oversaw the inaugural Spark Change Summit, a sold out convening on Social Impact Entertainment featuring leaders across the film industry co-hosted by the UCLA Skoll Center, and the distribution and promotion of the film, The Journey Is The Destination, which was released on Netflix in early 2018.
