NCD Financing Gap Whiteboard Video
This video explains, through a series of hand-drawn animations, the non-communicable disease (NCD) financing gap: the phenomenon that occurs when common but serious conditions are under-funded, contributing to a lag in care and increase in costs.
I created this video for my internship with the Health Finance Institute (HFI) using Adobe tools, after realizing the need for an accessible explanation of HFI's work closing the NCD financing gap.
I adapted my superiors' script, helping ensure it was clear while retaining their subject matter expertise.This video was posted on HFI's homepage. All rights belong to them.
Refugee Advocacy Graphics
I hand-illustrated and animated these graphics using Adobe Tools for the UNHCR's global social media pages (@refugees). They advocated for refugees' access to education, especially for women and children, as well as their health and safety during World Water Week 2022.
Refugees and displaced people frequently have to walk long, physically arduous distances to fetch clean water, and face increased risks of disease due to poor sanitation services, as I learned my internship with the United Nations Association of Greater Boston in 2018.

Social Media for UNHCR
This is an example of a Tiktok I made for the UNHCR (@refugees). I created it 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]: 🥰🥰🥰

This is an example of social media copy I drafted with my supervisors' editing, to accompany a graphics series I made for World Humanitarian Day.
I regularly helped write social copy during my internship at UNHCR.

Podcast episode: Step Therapy
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.
Infographic: the impact of wellness-linked insurance incentives
Can there be better health outcomes for people worldwide at a lower cost? Wellness-linked insurance incentives might make this happen.
I designed this graphic to illustrate this idea, accompanying a blog post written by my superiors at the Health Finance Institute in 2021.

Social media post for DC PCSB: supporting students on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities
I hand-drew this graphic using Adobe tools to encourage the compassionate treatment of disabled students and raise awareness about the school resources available to them, via DC PCSB's social media pages.
Part of my work with the DC Public Charter School Board included uplifting students with disabilities and their academic experiences and achievements, to ensure their voices are heard and appreciated. My writing and graphic design furthered this goal.
For example, in DC PCSB's April 2023 newsletter, I wrote about Autism awareness and what DC public charter schools did to celebrate it.
