I am a writer, performer, visual artist, and student researcher interested in how people are represented—and in what can be lost when experience becomes language, image, or story.

At Peddie, I serve as Editor-in-Chief of Amphion, the school’s literary and art magazine, perform in musical theatre and vocal ensembles, develop an independent visual art portfolio, and conduct research on adolescents’ understanding of Miranda rights. Across these different forms of work, I keep returning to similar questions: Whose perspective is being heard? What gets left out? How can we communicate complexity without reducing a person to a single story?

Acting has taught me to pay attention to silence and gesture. Singing has made me more aware of voice and interpretation. Visual art has shown me what can be suggested rather than explained, while writing has made me conscious of how even small choices in language shape meaning. My research in psychology and law asks related questions in a different setting, where misunderstanding can have real consequences.
Whether I am editing a poem, performing a character, translating a screenplay, making an image, or studying how teenagers understand their legal rights, I am most drawn to work that asks me to look closely, question my first interpretation, and make room for what is easily overlooked.
