Cooking with Dr. Bob | AOA President Video Series

I conceived and developed this video series concept for the American Osteopathic Association, then advised AOA President Robert Piccinini, DO, on self-producing the footage before editing it into a suite of social-ready clips.

The debut episode features Dr. Piccinini baking homemade biscuits while sharing a message about OMED 2025 — a format designed to humanize AOA leadership and drive conference engagement. The full series, The President Is In, lives on the AOA's website. https://osteopathic.org/about/cooking-with-dr-bob/

DO to Know | Osteopathic Physician Spotlight Series

Over three years, I produced this monthly social media series for the AOA, managing all post-production and writing the social copy for each installment. Featured physicians self-produced their footage, which I then shaped into a consistent, polished format that ran across AOA's social channels.

This episode spotlights Alexander Ford, DO, RD — a family medicine physician and Director of Medical Education at 4th Family Inc. in Schenectady, New York — one of dozens of exemplary osteopathic physicians featured across the series' run.

Roles: Series Development · Post-Production · Social Media Copywriting

As part of an AOA presidential initiative celebrating first-generation physicians, our production team conducted interviews with 15 first-gen DOs at the AOA's annual medical education conference. I handled all post-production — editing each interview into trailers, two-minute clips, and long-form videos — then wrote the social media copy and managed monthly publishing across AOA's channels.

This installment features John T. Pham, DO — the only Vietnamese American medical school dean in the U.S. — reflecting on his journey as a first-generation physician and what osteopathic medicine's whole-person philosophy has meant to his path.
