I’m a writer and researcher who, in 2026, finished dual degrees in English (B.A.) and Emerging Media and Technology (B.S.) at Kent State University, where I graduated summa cum laude in both. In the fall, I’ll begin a graduate program at Georgetown University. Most of what I do sits at the intersection of those two degrees: I’m drawn to close, careful reading — the kind you do under traditional university-level study of the classics — but I’m just as interested in the platforms, formats, and media where stories actually reach people now.
That combination has shaped most of my work so far. At Kent State’s Division of Information Technology, I spent close to two years as a technical writer and later a content editor, which meant a little bit of everything: interviewing faculty and staff to find stories worth telling, writing and editing articles, managing a departmental webpage, editing video and making sure captions actually met accessibility standards, and pitching new series when the well of existing ideas ran dry. It was a good, rather unglamorous education in how writing actually functions inside an institution — less about waiting for inspiration, more about deadlines, audience, and consistency.
More recently, I interned with Athena Project Arts in Denver, supporting fundraising and community outreach for local artists — research, volunteer coordination, social media, the practical work of keeping a small arts organization visible and funded.
Outside of work, I read, watch, listen, and play, a lot, and I tend to gravitate toward stories that are ambitious about scale — gothic novels, prestige television, wide-spanning movies, open-world games, experimental music — the kind of thing that takes its time and trusts you to sit with a big, sometimes uncomfortable idea. That’s the appetite this site is really built around.
