After doing research and casting at MTV for a number of projects, including two pilots and several True Life episodes, Roopa joined the Gigantic! team in 2008 and is now a show producer. In 2010, she produced True Life Goes On: Where Are Your Favorites Now? and True Life: I'm Addicted to Food, and she's also worked closely on many other episodes in the series, including I'm Living Off the Grid, I'm Changing My Sex, I Have Neurofibromatosis, and I'm a Gambler. While at Gigantic!, Roopa also segment produced MTV News' Sexting in America and briefly relived her childhood figure skating dreams while in the field for Ice Queens.
