Independent researcher · Author · Founder
I explore how culture, institutions, and stories shape the way we live. My work connects field research, writing, media, and public dialogue.
A connected perspective
What do we preserve? Who do we trust? How do the stories we tell influence the institutions we build?
Those questions take me into sacred spaces, creative businesses, and civic conversations. I’m interested in work that helps us understand one another, and take our responsibilities seriously.
