Projects and Papers.
Below is a selection of papers and projects from my undergraduate career that best showcase my strengths and talents as a writer, researcher, and creative. I excel at synthesizing and distilling complex concepts into accessible yet analytically rigorous writing, while still maintaining a distinct narrative voice. I am well-versed in the particularities of the research process, and approach each and every project with intellectual curiosity, analytical rigor, and an empathetic mind.
❝If the fight against patriarchy and the fight against white supremacy had not become alien to each other, and if the women who were subject to both had been centered rather than marginalized in these struggles, we can barely imagine how political life might be different in the here and now.❞

Projects
Hakim Ahmadi: A Refugee Story.
This is a “choose” your own adventure-style game meant to teach about the inner machinations of the asylum-seeking process from the perspective of Hakim Ahmadi.
His story is fictionalized, but rooted in reality. It is an amalgamation of several refugees I researched in the creation of this project, who all lent their stories of trial and triumph to create this educational experience.

Looking Back to Look Forward: Black Liberation and Authenticity.
For the final project and community element of the course Hip Hop, Politics, and Protest, we curated an exhibition in the Tang Teaching Museum.
As an addition to the exhibit, in collaboration with three of my peers, we created an interpolation on an existing piece in the collection that more directly involved hip hop.
