My professional writing is grounded in an English major and Professional Writing minor from UC Santa Barbara, where I developed a foundation in research, reportage, and audience-driven prose. I've reported internationally—most recently contributing a food landscape feature on Eire through IEIE Media—and served as a content editor for the UCSB English Department newsletter, sharpening copy across academic and public-facing contexts. My work moves between journalistic precision and narrative depth, with a particular interest in culture, place, and the stories embedded in both.
