Ngoc’s body of work has raised global awareness and impact for individuals and achieved huge financial successes for corporations and non-profit organizations.

As a filmmaker, Ngoc has produced award-winning feature films, TV series and impactful digital content. Her first film, “A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story,” chronicled Lizzie’s journey from being labeled “Ugliest Woman in the World” to becoming one of the world’s leading anti-bullying activists. That film was followed by “Protect Her,” a four-part education doc-series on sexual assault prevention and Google’s “Power On” Series a five-part film anthology that empowered girls in STEAM fields. Ngoc also serves as executive producer on the Netflix series, “Everyone is Doing Great.”

As a Strategist, Ngoc created a new blueprint over a decade ago when she combined her strengths as a publicist, producer and activist. Long before it became a staple to every business, guiding companies and individuals towards greater diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility had been central to Ngoc’s professional work and personal activism. Ngoc has led strategic efforts for the J.J. Abrams and Katie McGrath Family Foundation, Harness, Children’s Defense Fund, Communities in Schools, Women Rising, and TIME’S UP where she served as SVP and Head of Entertainment.

Recently, Ngoc was honored by the International Cinematographers Guild with its prestigious 2025 Bob Yaegar Award. Recipients of this award have not only distinguished themselves as a respected member of the industry, but also for their efforts outside of publicity for the betterment of society.
