JOURNALIST / WRITER / CREATIVE
I tell the stories of people, cultures and communities too often pushed to the margins.
I’m a writer and reporter at my core and a creative in every sense of the word. My journalism moves between the playful and the urgent — from the stranger, funkier corners of music, fashion and culture to social, political and economic issues that demand deeper attention.

VIEW THE SERIES ↗
I work across writing, audio, video, photography and digital design, but storytelling is always at the center. I’m drawn to work that can be playful, strange and culturally specific — and to reporting that confronts the social, political and economic forces shaping people’s lives.
Above all, I am a writer and reporter.
