As an interdisciplinary researcher and award-winning filmmaker and multimedia journalist, I use social sciences and humanities frameworks to understand media and technologies as mediators of lived realities. I seek to understand cultural-historical phenomena and global processes through written and visual projects that experiment with form and probe narratives. Alongside my work in various film festival roles (DOC NYC, Museum of the Moving Image, True/False Film Fest), I recently completed my master's thesis exploring uses and implications of generative AI for documentary filmmaking—a practice that exists at the critical intersection of artistic expression and reality.
My diverse academic background as a Senator Wayne Goode Scholar and Walter Williams Scholar at the University of Missouri underpins my work: I am the Kappa Tau Alpha Top Scholar of my undergraduate class at the School of Journalism, and I earned a degree in sociology, complemented by minors in French and film studies and honors and multicultural certificates.
