Worked with Daniel Durant from the 94th Oscars Best Picture film 'CODA' to create a promotional video directing his ASL audience to the YouTube Livestream.

The ASL Interpreter team promoted the livestream as well: Topher González Ávila, April Jackson-Woodard, Jordan Lopez, and Jonathan Webb Coordinated in collaboration with LaVant Consulting, Inc.

Worked directly with ABC and YouTube to feature the Livestream across their channels.

Highlighted the Oscars American Sign Language YouTube Livestream across Academy social channels.
