Working collaboratively with the community of disabled + neurodivergent students, staff, and scholars at SFU, the project asks: What stories of ours are not seen? How are we not visible? And how can our stories offer us a voice within academia, a space to share our experiences with the university and the world?

Her films and animations have been screened at the Berlinale Talent Campus, FIFA World Cup.
