Public Spotlights

Displaying my media highlights is particularly important to me, especially since I don't have personal social media accounts. These media highlights serve as a curated window into my professional journey, accomplishments, and the impact of my work. They offer a tangible way for peers, collaborators, and potential employers to gauge my contributions and understand my narrative in the absence of typical social media interactions. By presenting these highlights, I aim to provide a comprehensive and genuine representation of my endeavors and the recognition they have garnered.
