about me
I'm a senior media production and journalism major at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota. I'm from Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
I'm passionate about storytelling through writing, photo and video. I want to share stories that make a difference in my community and lift up marginalized voices.
I like making hyper-specific Spotify playlists, treasure hunting at Goodwill and spending all my money on concert tickets.

my writing
Built on Hope documentary
In January 2025, I traveled to Haryana, India, with two other Bethel University students and our India partners. We spent a few weeks filming in a brick factory, trying to show the economic desperation of migrant families who live where they work. The documentary, which I directed and edited, premiered in October 2025.
