In her last year of the bachelor's, she was the producer of Semana Más Corta Short Film Festival, a national event. Previous to her role as producer, she participated in this festival and received two awards: Best Educational Campaign for Madre Ozama (2014), an audiovisual campaign oriented towards families that live nearby the Ozama river (Santo Domingo, D.R.); and Best Cinematography for Página en Blanco (2014), a short film about the last living days of the Dominican journalist Orlando Martinez and the events surrounding his assassination. In both projects, she was part of the writing process, collaborated with the research, and assisted in coming up with ideas that would connect the film with its origin story.
