Tea Party Podcast
Under my supervision, Tea Party interviewed literary professionals, MFA candidates, and undergraduate writers. Out of nearly 1000 potential candidates, Sydney Eldeiry—the podcast's founder, director and co-host—received the Student Activity and Involvement's Member of the Year Award at the University of Florida. Listen to season 1 and the upcoming season 2 on Spotify, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Precursor to the Podcast
"Tea Talks" celebrated Gainesville's various literary events and artists. I started the initiative in 2019. The following article highlights the Latina Women's League's 3rd annual Gainesville Latino Short Film Competition, which highlighted Hispanic artists in Gainesville, nationally, and abroad.
