I am a Visual Anthropologist with experience in ethnography, media, and cultural interpretation. In my work, I am guided by my passions: cross-cultural education, social justice, and an overall, empathetic and human-centered approach. Through my research experience and documentary film work, I have sharpened my ability to understand how people think, communicate, and interact with the world.
Outside of research, I am a creative writer and visual artist who enjoys exploring the intersection between anthropology, storytelling, and art. Making art keeps me passionate, energized, and imaginative. I believe that creating is the essence of human nature and shapes how people interpret the world. I bring this perspective into all projects that I work on.
