here's some of the work I'm most proud of:
Let's Talk About Sex
In this project, I independently conducted a year-long ethnographic study investigating how 18-year-old high school students, of different identities, learn about sex and communication.
My Role
I conducted this research as part of my Senior Anthropology Thesis.
Main Goal
To address the sexual assault epidemic in the U.S. through an educational and preventative lens.
Vaginas #1 - 8
I explored the relationship individuals have with their vagina (and vulva), by creating 8 anatomically-based 3D "portraits" of vaginas from built-up layers of paper.
My Role
I designed and created these pieces based on 8 models for my Senior Art Exhibition.
Main Goal
To start dialogues about gender, bodies, and reproductive health through art.
Watson Fellowship Finalist
As a finalist for the Watson Fellowship, I designed and planned a 12-month journey to Indonesia, India, New Zealand, and Argentina to learn about sex and communication in other cultures.
My Role
I spent 9 months designing a year-long expedition across 4 countries.
Main Goal
To understand how consent is culturally constructed by the ways people learn about sex, relationships, sexuality, and their bodies in different cultures.
i value authenticity and collaboration, and seek to surround myself with people who are passionate about what they do.
