Projects And Publications

I began my professional research journey in 2018 and have since worked on a number of solo and collaborative projects. I take pride in the work that I do and have collaborated with many creative and inspiring individuals along the way. I am a firm believer in working hard, working together, and having fun along the way! Explore some of the highlights of my work portfolio, and feel free to get in touch with any questions.
