Statement

I hold a BSc in Biochemistry and spent a year working in research labs. What I valued most was learning how to analyze complex systems and turn evidence into ideas. After the 2024 election, I applied that same approach to politics, producing a feature documentary about the forces that shaped America's current political moment. That work led directly to my role leading digital communications for the Womack for Congress campaign.

"Analytical thinking applied to political strategy."

How the
Hell We
Got Here

Feature-length

An archival documentary examining American working-class decline, deindustrialization, and the political polarization that followed. Traces how the Democratic Party's shift from its working-class base created conditions for the rise of populism through economic history, political data, and the people who lived through it.
