Media, Art, Music, Disability Culture, Accessibility, Disability Rights, Religion, LGBQT, Disability, Service Animals, Travel, Lifestyle I am a Deaf nomadic storyteller with a burning passion for exploring and creating impactful art that pushes the world to become more inclusive. Authenticity is always an essential element that I include in my work to create a visually compelling message. The message itself is as important as the design and appearance, which is often untraditional and diverse. I am eager to leap into the unknown, whether that might be a hot desert, cool rainforest, or a peak of a snowy mountain. My approach to creating memorable adventures is quite similar to how I approach my design and photography strategy. I am ambitious to find traveling photojournalism assignments to raise awareness of the issues regarding human rights. Additionally, I also strive to communicate the severe impact on our Earth by climate change through my silent perspective in photography.

Media, Books, Politics, History, Feminism, Race, Disability, Technology I am a recent graduate of Ithaca College and a journalist with an eclectic interest in politics, culture, business, tech, or any other area with stories waiting to be told. I have written for multiple publications, including Space Channel, The Drum and News Bling, and I have a blog exhibiting some political pieces of mine. I lost half of my vision about five years ago and have only worked harder since. I find that my impairment actually gives me a leg up in interviews as sources are more willing to let their guard down.
