930 Club
Independently researched, wrote, and produced a mini-documentary profiling the 9:30 Club, one of Washington D.C.'s most storied live music institutions. The project examined how the venue built a culture of inclusion within the music scene, fostering an underground scene that welcomed artists and fans from all walks of life and helped launch acts in various genres like Go-Go music and punk rock into the mainstream. From sourcing to final cut, the work was entirely self-directed, blending narrative journalism with documentary storytelling to bring a piece of living music history to life.

The piece demonstrated an ability to craft compelling sports narratives through reflective storytelling and a genuine curiosity for the people behind the performance.
American University Dining Hall Renovations

The piece demonstrated an ability to find the personal story within an institutional change and deliver it with urgency and empathy.
