✨Project Highlight
-
Learning how to produce remotely during the pandemic. This series about mis- and disinformation premiered in March 2020, two weeks after our offices shut down and we started working from home. Not only was this my first Series Producer role, but we had to pivot both our production processes AND our focus very quickly. It was a challenge to approach misinformation about the coronavirus in those early days, but I worked with a great team to deliver some important information when it was needed most.
