i travel and take film photos.

my film instagram is here.

i graduated in may 2020 with a master of science in data visualization at parsons school of design / the new school.

my master's thesis visualized touring history and venue size as a representation of musician career paths, serving as a follow-up to my undergraduate thesis at new college, where i graduated with a bachelors in computer science.

my background is a mix of technical research and journalism, with a focus on music.

in 2019, transitioned into management—client, project, and team—at polygraph.

before joining the pudding, i spent three years in traditional music journalism while also doing computational internships.

but, the journey started in high school when i did a four-year science fair project in cognitive psychology.

i attended the international fair twice, placing third globally in my category senior year.

in 2017, i was honored as a goldwater scholar.

in my free time, i train for half marathons, collect K-Pop photocards (jeongin ult - iykyk), and daydream about the scottish highlands.

you'll probably catch me talking about a band called inhaler, how much i adore sam fender, arlo parks' poetry, oasis in 1996, and theories about where on earth van mccann has been.
