Her multiple award-winning hot topic comedy satire HOW TO HACK BIRTH CONTROL, which she directed, wrote and produced has been called "Wickedly Funny and Charmingly Scathing" by IndieShorts Magazine and "Fans of Samantha Bee's or John Oliver's gifts for balancing information and entertainment will enjoy Mohen's deftness at playing in that same sandbox," by Beyond Chron.
