I'm interested in highlighting the nuances in a world where opinions can feel black and white. I believe that interactive community installations and work that encourages us to look closer, think deeper, and examine multiple perspectives can promote empathy. 

I studied Textiles at Kent State University and Nonprofit Management, Arts Administration at the University of Oregon.
