Research Interests

I conducted research on Russian Director Alexander Sokurov. I studied his influence on the films of Raoul Peck. I cross-examined the themes of each director's respective films. I conducted research through UROP under the mentorship of Lisa Wakamiya. It was done through FSU. With Wakamiya, I will be constructing a video essay in the summer that analyzes my research more critically. I also aim to study climate gentrification in Miami.
