Visual, Written, and Informed Storytelling
Embedded Files
I am a naturally curious and positive person. I believe everyday people and their stories are the most important ones to tell, and I am working to build a career where I can help tell them. I have an empathetic and humane approach to politics and film, and love to look at things from innovative angles
