People have always been at the heart of my passion. Observation and curiosity are art forms in themselves, and writing has long been my natural medium for exploring the world, sharing stories—both my own and those of others.

In 2022, as I navigated the transition from college into adulthood, I created ACTING GROWN, a newsletter dedicated to feature-style essays on people, places, and experiences through the lens of adolescence and faith.

By weaving together identity, culture, and art, ACTING GROWN blends personal histories, narrative storytelling, and current events to offer rich, colorful investigations into life.
