Around Town

I provide on-site interviews and post-event press coverage for brands, organizations, and leaders committed to purpose-driven work and meaningful community engagement, with a particular focus on showcasing events around the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) area.

Through conversations with founders, vendors, collaborators, and community supporters, I document the heart of the event. I highlight both personal motivations and collective impact. This work reflects my approach to storytelling: listening first, honoring lived experience, and translating moments into narratives that center dignity, care, and real-world impact.
