Live2Tell is a project dedicated to documenting and sharing Holocaust Survivors' legacies through a contemporary lens in hopes of reaching younger generations. We photograph and interview Holocaust Survivors and with those materials create social media outreach and activations (large scale projections on landmark buildings and structures) to bolster awareness of Holocaust education. As project manager, I am responsible for managing shoot production and participation. I work directly with Holocaust Survivors to coordinate their participation. I maintain project archives, including interviews, portraits, and artifacts. I oversee our team of historians, writers, and designers to develop public-facing assets, including large-scale projections, social media content, and donor materials. I create and maintain budgets for all operations, and work on grants to help secure funding. I also interface with media outlets to provide project assets and support coverage. This project is an honor to work on, and it is a gift to help Holocaust Survivors share their wisdom. I'm hopeful that we can foster more tolerance and compassion for future generations.

As studio manager, I oversee general workflow, production, and project management. I handle all post-production workflows including retouching and billing. I manage the studio's digital and physical archives and handle image licensing as well. I also facilitate print sales and donations.
