Public work with context.

I report, write, teach, advocate, create, and build across journalism, law, education, technology, finance, civil rights, art, and public life.

The complete spectrum

  • Journalism: reporting, briefs, newsroom standards, and public records.
  • Law and accountability: duty, responsibility, institutions, and evidence.
  • Education: teaching, training, legibility, and access.
  • Technology and systems: tools, operations, civic infrastructure, and public-interest workflows.
  • Finance and insurance: risk, pricing, consumer consequences, and practical protection.
  • Civil rights advocacy: visibility, dignity, public protection, and LGBTQIA+ advocacy.
  • Art and media: film, image-making, creative practice, and cultural memory.
  • Change work: projects that move from analysis to public action.

Work modes

  • Report: source-led journalism, civic accountability, public records, and reader-facing context.
  • Analyze: legal, education, public-safety, insurance, civil-rights, and technology analysis.
  • Teach: education, training, public explanation, and frameworks that make difficult systems usable.
  • Advocate: civil-rights work, cultural visibility, and public-interest pressure grounded in evidence.
  • Create: art, media, founder-led systems, and projects built to move people toward change.

From the blog: education, curiosity, and the records that shape public life.

The frame

Curiosity, public records, and systems that deserve plain language. The writing moves between close reading and wide context: legal duties, institutional behavior, education, public safety, civil rights, creative practice, advocacy, media, and civic technology.
