Most of her work in video production however is centred in the corporate, cultural and sporting arena, writing and producing short documentaries and profiles. She also holds a Certificate in Project Management and has worked on international projects with CBS, as location manager at the Piarco International Airport, for the filming of the Trinidad leg of  The Amazing Race,  and as a project coordinator with Coachella for their feature on Calypso Rose, a cultural icon and international award winner who performed at the Coachella festival in 2019.
