Talks and Presentations

I regularly deliver talks and presentations that explore storytelling, creative nonfiction, and interdisciplinary research. These talks reflect my engagement with fragmented storytelling, visual culture, and the interplay between memory and identity. Below is a selection of key presentations that highlight the breadth of my work.
