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 am especially interested in the ways we get in our own way; about the moments we find ourselves cast as our own worst enemy.

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 a rehearsal pianist for Lees-McRae College and I am in the process of learning the guitar. I pay for Duolingo but don’t use it nearly enough.
