Welp, I found my photos used in a publication w/o my knowledge or consent, one of my favorite journalism professors passed away today (f*ck cancer), & I have to replace my windshield b/c of a foul ball. So I need to pick up some work! Hire me for your writing or photography needs or buy a print! TIA

I made a few trips to Presidio to write about the two galleries that have opened in recent months—Galería Raíces and The Dreamers Gallery—and their collaborative friendship for Glasstire.

I've been a journalist since I was 17 years old, and receiving edits from an editor without feeling imposter syndrome has yet to go away.

Two games. Three teams. One epic weekend. Special thanks to Jomo & the Possum Posse for letting me use their song for the video.

Two games. Three teams. One epic weekend. I wish I could have hung out more, but alas, I had to work. Special thanks to Jomo & the Possum Posse for letting me use their song for the video.

Summer's here! And it's already too hot. But what I love about living in here is that we have cooler temps & there's some reprieve from sunset to sunrise. Still, the sun is not your friend! So for Visit Alpine's newsletter, I shared nine ways to stay cool in West Texas. app.robly.com/archive?id=3...

Back in February, I wrote about 5th Street Gallery—the newest gallery in Alpine—for Visit Alpine, TX. There’s a lot of history inside those walls and everything—from the candles to the artwork—is selected by owner Rachael Waller. Read more about it: app.robly.com/archive?id=6...

Y’all. Y2K is streaming on Max now. I highly recommend it for fans of comedic horror and my classmates with our reunion coming up (I’m already having feelings about it). The references from this era and the soundtrack had me LOLing the whole time.
