I am currently pursuing my M.A. in Specialized Journalism (Arts and Culture) at the University of Southern California, where I continue to develop my voice as a multimedia journalist. Growing up, I often saw art and fashion as worlds that felt out of reach due to language and financial barriers. Journalism changed that perspective—it brought me closer to those spaces and helped me realize I am far more connected to them than I once believed.

I am a strong believer that culture is a shared force that connects and shapes us across the world, and I aim to use journalism to build those connections in meaningful and accessible ways. My work is rooted in making art and culture feel more approachable to wider audiences, especially through storytelling that centers people and lived experience.

I acquired my B.S in journalism from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA, where I’ve written features, conducted artist interviews, and created content for campus radio and media outlets, with experience covering local music and arts scenes. Alongside writing, I specialize in fashion, concert, and experimental photography, using visual storytelling to deepen the narratives I report on.

I’m looking to grow into journalism roles where I can continue telling stories about artists, creative communities, and behind-the-scenes cultural work, with the long-term goal of seeing my byline in print publications.
