Hi there! I'm a Willamette University student pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in English with a passion for storytelling and visual art. I love blending photography, traditional and digital illustration, and written content to bring campus life and ideas to life. I enjoy collaborating with writers, attending events, and turning moments into engaging visuals. Beyond the campus, I volunteer and work on community projects, learning about wildlife, gardens, and food systems. My experiences—from the Birds of Prey Foundation to Growing Gardens—have taught me to be curious, reliable, and adaptable, and I bring that mindset to every project I tackle.…Hi there!
