Her 2020 fellowship at docutribe allowed her to highlight vulnerable communities impacted during COVID-19 and empower young girls to leverage filmmaking as a tool for social change. This experience sparked her interest in documentary production and was incredibly formative in her filmmaking career.

The film was also recognized as Best Honors Professional Thesis and received the Orlin Prize for Outstanding Honors Thesis of 2023 from the Syracuse University Honors Program.
Siambekos was a summer 2022 Television Academy Foundation Documentary Production Intern. During her internship, she had the honor to work on the Oscar shortlisted and Emmy® Award winning film, The Flagmakers, and the short documentary, Parker, which had its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
