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, writing, and documentary film work, I have sharpened my ability to understand how people think, communicate, and interact with the world.
I currently work as a researcher and interpretive writer for parks, museums, and cultural heritage sites. I enjoy synthesizing complex ideas and making them accessible for wider audiences because I believe in the importance and power of education.
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. 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.
