Borne from an informational YouTube series I created with my husband during the pandemic (which I used as proof of concept), I pitched the "A Gay in the Life" concept to Spotify in partnership with production company Paradiso Media (https://paradisomedia.io/en). Spotify picked the show up as a live radio show tasked with reporting on queer news, history, and pop culture, with the interesting element of allowing the hosts to chat with listeners about their experiences in a live talk radio setting. As creator and host of this show, I have interviewed dozens of activists, journalists, politicians, authors, and entertainers on the air, including: Tan France (Netflix's "Queer Eye"); Jackie Cox and Alyssa Edwards ("RuPaul's Drag Race"); director Peter Paige ("Queer as Folk," "The Fosters"); rapper Taylor Bennett; and Olympian Gus Kenworthy. As of November 2022, I have researched, hosted, and produced 60 episodes of the show, all of which are now streaming on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2Uw1FfEmEQSjLUOVZ8jPtl?si=0672736384dd4cfd. After two seasons of the show, my contract with Spotify ends Q4 2022.

ATI contracted me to write an original television miniseries based on the Dracula IP. I chose and pitched a comedic Y/A series (a la "Buffy") called "House of Helsing." I wrote a total of 10 hour-long episodes, and production began in Armenia in summer 2022.
