About

Hi there! I’m a multidisciplinary researcher and educator with a passion for human rights, Indigenous histories, and cross-cultural learning. I enjoy turning complex ideas into accessible stories and teaching experiences, whether in classrooms, museums, or online spaces.

Across roles—from research assistant and academic fellow to retail supervisor and study-abroad ambassador—I’ve built strong collaboration, communication, and project-management skills. I’m motivated by opportunities to tell compelling, evidence-based stories and to support communities through thoughtful education and outreach.
