An Influence On My Love for Travel.

In this series of brief creative snippets (300 words or less), I explore my fascination with travel and culture inspired by watching Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, a show my parents once deemed “slightly risqué.” Through reflections on Bourdain’s adventures, I examine the powerful influence his world travels had on my own curiosity with a growing desire to experience life beyond the familiar.

Beautiful Together Feature Story.

For my final project in MEJO 153 Writing & Reporting (Word Count: 933), I covered the story of Beautiful Together Animal Sanctuary, co-founded by Tamara and Steve Lackey in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The sanctuary, built on 83 acres of land, will serve as a refuge for rescued animals and at-risk children, reflecting the Lackeys’ commitment to creating a space of healing and connection inspired by their international philanthropic work as the construction of the sanctuary nears completion.

Why art matters to me.

In this series of brief creative snippets (300 words or less), I delve into my love for abstraction, or the simple, joyful creations my grandfather and I made with Crayola markers at the kitchen table. Through these cherished memories, I explore how art can be a powerful bond, transcending generations and inspiring a deep, personal connection to creativity.
