Her award-winning documentary feature, The Refugees of Shangri La, has screened worldwide and has been supported by the United Nations and the State Department. The film has screened at festivals and prestigious educational institutions the world over and, more importantly, has helped give voice to the unknown plight of former Bhutanese refugee communities, creating a tool for healing, justice, and aiding the transition to their resettlement communities. Her journalism has been published in the International Organization for Migration's magazine (IOM). She has been interviewed by Smithsonian and Himalaya Magazine and featured on NPR.
