Her earlier feature, Holding Trevor, was critically acclaimed and released theatrically.

Goodman has overseen a wide range of film, television, and commercial productions for studios including Disney, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, and Bad Robot, as well as campaigns for global brands. Her work has been recognized by Variety and the Los Angeles Times for its polish and impact. She has been a finalist in the Disney Television Directors Program, advanced in the Sundance Labs, and received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Millenia Foundation for her work in independent cinema.

She is the founder of TANŌ RISING FILM, a company that connects meaningful narrative films with philanthropic funding. Goodman is a member of the Producers Guild of America, the Television Academy, the NAACP, GLAAD, and the Hollywood Radio & Television Society.
