F.K.A. Ann | he/they

From childhood onward, I pursued journalism in South Carolina with a tenacious passion. When I relocated to New York for two years, I pivoted into teaching—but that never stopped me from writing and creating digital content. I am now back in the south and looking to return to a career in media.

My ultimate wish is to use my skills for good. When I envision my dream job, I picture opportunities to be challenged, use my creativity, connect people, expand perspectives, and grow.
