About Me

I fell in love with writing while in my High School AP Literature class, where creating stories became more than an assignment, it became a way to understand people, emotion, and the world around me. That early passion grew into a commitment to journalism rooted in vulnerability, curiosity, and truth.

Growing up as an amputee shaped how I view representation and advocacy. While it introduced me to disability awareness, it also pushed me to go beyond my own experience and recognize the many communities whose stories are overlooked or misunderstood. This perspective continues my desire to advocate not just for one community, but for many.

I’m currently a journalism student at the University of Oregon with a minor in global studies. While a student, I am a writer for the student-ran magazine, Align, and a volunteer tutor for refugee youth in the area. Through my work, and experiences I’ve learned the importance of listening, cultural awareness, and ethical storytelling. 

I aim to pursue journalism that connects personal narrative with broader social impact and amplifies voices that deserve to be heard. If you are interested in working with me, contact me, I am eager to learn and create more!
