I am a senior at the University of California, Los Angeles, studying Geography and Communication. My work has been republished in major outlets such as the Associated Press, LAist, and KQED as well as local newspapers throughout California.

I'm a proud product of the state's public education system and grew up in the Bay Area. Across all beats, I take great care in cultivating a fair relationship with movements for social change, their founders, activism, experiences and scholarship.
