M.A., Public Interest Media & Communications
Hello!
I am a creative writer focused on gathering and sharing information about community systems - whether they be a small non-profit, a large university, or a state-wide coalition of like-minded people.
​
My research focused on confronting traditional behaviors regarding domestic violence, and inspiring feelings of hope and self-empowerment.
