Commercial Work
To celebrate Balashi’s 25th anniversary, we partnered with them to create a campaign that highlights their deep-rooted connection to Aruba’s culture and community. Our goal was to reflect Balashi’s values and history by focusing on local stories and iconic scenes that resonate with the island’s identity.
For this campaign, we showcased the everyday life and traditions that link Balashi to the Aruban community, featuring Sherman Libiee, a goat herder who sustainably feeds his goats with Balashi’s spent grain, and authentic scenes of Balashi staff enjoying a domino game on-site. By casting local-looking individuals and shooting at recognizable locations, we created a visual story that feels genuine and honors Balashi’s journey over the past 25 years.

Episodic Television Projects
Caribbean Vibrations TV
A magazine-style television program highlighting the best of the best in Caribbean entertainment, lifestyle & culture. Showcasing the trendiest places, signature events, and biggest names in the Caribbean diaspora in both North America and around the world.
In 2028, 2019, and 2021, I worked together with the Caribbean Vibrations TV production team and crew to create episodic television that aired on the Canadian television channel OMNI and other various television networks worldwide. For this project, I was a local producer, scheduling and supporting the executive producer with all local communications, and I was also a drone operator and 2nd camera operator, filming interviews and capturing B-roll and aerial footage.
Take a look at some of the content I was involved in creating.

We got to experience the local way of life in San Nicolas City where we attended Island Fest. This event takes place in the heart of San Nicolas City, where the sun rises, and the most spectacular murals are visible. Welcoming all visitors to fully explore the night with live music, spectacular historical shows, local and international gastronomy, heritage, and the kindness of our locals.

An airline that flies out of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. Growing up, Germain has always wanted to be a pilot, even though women were not encouraged to undertake that occupation. She followed her father’s advice to get something to fall back on when she graduated with a Business Degree. Still, she yearned to be a pilot, and she persevered to become one. Through hard work and dedication, she became the first woman to own and operate an Airline in the Caribbean.

You know how I love to eat, and they did not disappoint. Whether it was the amazing dinner buffet & show, or at Double Down Diner with those amazing burgers or eating authentic New York Pizza, I was in food heaven.

During the filming of season three, following Tania Maduro's journey, I worked as a production assistant to the local producer and production team at Left/Right Productions to coordinate locations and additional talent, translate for crew and talent, secure meals, and drive the cast and crew around. In addition to working with the on-set production team, I assisted the camera and lighting department on location, building and breaking down camera and lighting setups across multiple locations.
Caribbean Life follows families as they pack up and head to the Caribbean. In each episode, a couple searches for an affordable slice of heaven as they tour homes on white, sandy beaches. The real estate advisers chosen to help must find locations for growing families, couples just starting, and families looking for a fresh start while sticking to their respective budgets. Leaving their lives in the States behind, these couples and families hope to start over in paradise, but for a price each can afford.
During the filming of this show, I assisted the crew and production team with securing locations, setting up lights, and staging the sets before filming.
Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations is a series that features the not-to-be-missed legendary foods that define a location. These are the unique dishes we are willing to travel halfway around the world to eat. Each episode features one locale and at least four of five iconic foods that define the location. Delicious Destinations explores how they are made and takes viewers inside the kitchens, factories, and farms where these dishes are prepared. We dig into the origin of these popular foods and how they've evolved over time. And for those who like their meals well-seasoned, we dish on the sometimes distinctive lingo associated with these foods and the surprising table manners you absolutely need to know. This is a series that is guaranteed to make you hungry!
During this project, I assisted the producers with translations between crew and talent, assisted the camera team with set-up, and managed talent on set.
