Dirigí e ilustré un video en estilo "whiteboard" para el instituto de salud y finanzas, "Health Finance Institute," cuando era intern.
This video for the Health Finance Institute (HFI) explains the NCD (Non Communicable Disease) financing gap. I created the animations by free drawing on my iPad and compiled the video using Adobe tools. The script is not mine.

Introducing ASPIRE Video Series
Alongside a coworker, I explained the DC Public Charter School Board's new academic accountability system, ASPIRE, in this multi-video series. I was the creative director for this project (both formatting the video and making graphics) and used existing footage of Board meetings to streamline our process.
I used Canva and Adobe Premiere Pro for this project. All rights belong to the DC Public Charter School Board (DC PCSB).
Mini Documentary
También he creado muchos videos, incluso un mini documental y clips cortos para redes sociales como Instagram y Tiktok.
social media
A Human Right. Period.
I created this TikTok during my internship with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), to advocate for refugees' access to menstrual products, using available footage (that is not my own) in South Sudan. I wrote this project script with my supervisors' approval and compiled/edited visuals myself. Tools used were my iPhone, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Photoshop.
Some comments:
[Tiktok user 1]: PERIOD 😍💅🏻
[Tiktok user 2]: 🥰🥰🥰

DC Public Charter Schools NOW Monthly Highlights
This video series, designed primarily for YouTube and Instagram and executed in collaboration with a colleague at DC PCSB, re-caps the most important parts of the DC Public Charter Schools' monthly parent and educator-facing newsletter, DC Public Charter Schools NOW.
I kicked off this now-regular series (which has been continued after my departure from the agency) after identifying that audiences needed a better incentive to read the newsletter, and/or an easier way to stay informed about DC public charter students' accomplishments.

Podcast: Step Therapy
DEVELOPED BY DUMASTAR
In this podcast, I investigated fail-first insurance policies and the dangerous effects they can have on patients' lives, and detailed what can be done to encourage change. My hope was that the project could encourage patients' own health literacy when communicating with their insurance provider.
I directed this podcast from start to finish, including background research, its interview, and script creation. It came about after listening to real patients' stories during my internship with the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation, and was for my undergraduate capstone.
I hand-illustrated the cover image and created this podcast via Adobe Audition.
This podcast includes a brief excerpt from Dr. Ann Bass’ testimony to the Texas State Senate. The clip is used solely for educational purposes as part of my undergraduate capstone project.

Podcast cover description: The cover page is features a black background with a white silhouette of a staircase, and simplistic illustrations of multicolored pills cascading down it. The bottom and right edges of the image are teal colored and say "Beyond the Surface" and "An Izzy Podcast [hollow white heart]."
Newscast: DC Universities Come Together in Historic Climate Talks
For an undergraduate capstone assignment, I directed, filmed, anchored, and produced my own newscast on a sustainable event within the Washington, DC area. This was designed to practice my news broadcasting skills and showcase what I learned. I had a lot of fun interviewing professors about the sustainability efforts local DC universities made as of 2022.
