Her films have screened in various contexts, including the London International Documentary Film Festival in 2008. Her research and filmmaking have received support from the Wenner Gren Foundation and a FulbrightHays award.

Her next project will be a multi sited ethnography about Armenian charitable giving in the United States and Canada that aims to support development and infrastructural projects in the Republic of Armenia.
