Journalist. Researcher. Civic Technologist.

I investigate how narratives, algorithms, and emerging technologies shape civic life and public understanding. My work spans investigative reporting, documentary filmmaking, and computational research—often with a focus on suppressed histories, political rhetoric, and the evolving dynamics of misinformation. With a background in performance, I bring a critical lens to how rhetoric functions not only as content, but also as an embodied and affective practice—particularly in the spread of misinformation and public persuasion.

As a Lede Fellow at Columbia Journalism School, I’m exploring how 19th-century anti-political discourse reverberates through today’s media and digital platforms.

I hold an MFA in Acting from The Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University and a BA in Sociology and Anthropology from Wells College, with minors in French and Africana Studies.

Current Projects

• The Radical Experiment of Haiti (Documentary-in-progress)
  A feature-length documentary examining Haiti’s revolutionary legacy and its role as a sanctuary for 19th-century Black immigrants—interweaving historical research with personal and diasporic narratives to surface overlooked patterns of resistance, migration, and identity.

  Performance, Politics, and Misinformation (Research through the Lede Program)
  A data-driven inquiry into how political rhetoric functions as performance—and how emerging technologies like natural language processing can illuminate the ways misinformation spreads across time, media, and messaging.
