About Me

I self-designed and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Documentary Media, and am curious about documenting the reality we live in using all the various forms that documentary, journalism, and artistry can take. My strength lies in bridging together many different forms of storytelling (photography, music, podcasting, videography, and ethnography) into compelling and well-rounded work.

I am interested in how people become who they are, and how their experiences describe the worlds we live in. I see media as a tool for fostering connection and understanding between communities, personal relationships, and within our own brains.

In my free time I like to run and am usually in some stage of training for a race. I also work part time as the rehearsal pianist for Lees-McRae College and I am in the process of learning the guitar. I sometimes write melodramatic songs.
