About

I am a passionate advocate and storyteller with a focus on journalism, creative direction, media ethics, and social change. My interests include community organizing, disinformation, and NGO and grassroots development, with a strong dedication to housing equity, sustainability, education, LGBTQ+ rights, and mental health accessibility. I graduated in 2023 from the University of Texas at Austin with double majors in Communication and Leadership, and International Relations and Global Studies, focusing on culture, media, and the arts. My academic work has led me to explore how the arts drive social change and the intersection of disinformation and democracy. I have extensive experience in policy research, content production, and creating impactful campaigns that foster awareness around social issues. Throughout my career, I’ve developed skills in advocacy, project management, and community engagement, working with organizations focused on mental health, education, housing, and social justice. I have a strong background in content creation across various media platforms, including podcast production, journalism, and digital content. My work blends creativity with strategic thinking to amplify important conversations and promote social change.
