I am a multimedia journalist and storyteller, who has a passion for telling complex stories about the human condition. Whether a story brings me to politics, race, religion, or other complex matters, I enjoy revealing the many lenses of humanity in that subject. My primary degree in International Studies, with a focus in the Middle East and North Africa, conceptualizes my research, storytelling, and process as a communicator to create more depth and intricacy in my work.
