I'm an AmeriCorps VISTA serving at the Center for Digital Storytelling. My projects this year have included coordinating content collection and development for the Stories for Change site, teaching a variety of digital storytelling workshops with youth and adults, and creating software tutorials and a youth guide to digital storytelling.
I have a degree in journalism, but I'm mostly interested in helping people create their own media and in teaching media literacy. I'm also interested in visual communication and encouraging people to express themselves through images.
In my spare time I like to read, write, make things, and be outdoors.
