About
One key interest area of mine is the impact of digital media on mental health and society. My past experiences have shaped this passion, including studying Digital Media Design, working within the social media industry, and contributing as an editor of The Anxious Generation. I am now honored to be the Director of Prevention Education and Training at Enough Abuse, an organization that has worked to prevent child abuse for 65 years.
Outside of work, I love spending time in nature with my dog, Bewley, having game nights with family and friends, creating art, and exploring new places.
