I attended the University of California, Berkeley, Graduate School of Journalism on the documentary film track, graduating in May 2022. I graduated from the University of Oregon and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in September 2019 in Journalism and International Studies. I am a first-generation college student from Oregon. I want to become an audiovisual editor. I hope to help oppressed groups of people such as women experience more equality and equity within the world through a feminist and intersectional lens. My other interests are social justice, k-12 education, politics, mental health and climate change.
