Her work so far has given her exciting opportunities in her field, including being invited to Berlinale Talents as a sound studio participant in 2015. Having worked in the film industry for many years in various fields, she feels compelled to explore producing as a means to tell stories and experiences as a person of colour that resonate with her, and film has felt the natural medium to do that.

She was accepted on to the B3 Origin mentoring programme in 2021, which is designed to help Black, Asian & multicultural creatives working across the fields of film. This led her to work with writer/director/actor Precious Wura Alabi as a producer on her fiction short (SPIN) which was backed by the BFI and recently showed at BAFTA/Oscar accredited film festivals such as Palm Springs International Film Festival.
