Born and raised in Colorado, based in North Carolina.

Studying Journalism and Philosophy at UNC Chapel Hill and Duke University.

Pursuing work in multimedia storytelling

As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adult), American Sign Language is my first language. Growing up walking the line between two cultures deepened my appreciation for accessibility and purpose. I strive to learn about the communities that have been pushed to the periphery in order to accurately reflect and amplify stories rather than speak on behalf.

Over the course of a semester, I spent hours researching, interviewing, and exploring Western North Carolina, one year after Hurricane Helene. In this process, we prioritized authentic connection over parachute journalism.

Eventually, I met Josh Kelly. He took me mushroom hunting, at a place he’d gone for 24 years but hadn’t returned since the hurricane. As we spent more time together, I witnessed Josh’s deep connection to family, the land, and his community.

For the first time since Hurricane Helene tore through Western North Carolina, a conservationist returns to the beloved oak tree he once discovered with his father, and reflects on the pace of change.

Pioneered video work for an official publication in Durham, The 9th Street Journal.

From interviewing the District Attorney to City Council Candidates right before the election, I’ve begun to expand my journalistic perspective through both longform and shortform reporting on local issues and politics.
