Co-Founder and Co-Host

Gen-Z: Our World to Follow or Flip — From June 2020 to September 2022

During the pandemic, my friend and I felt as if Gen-Z voices were not heard and often dismissed in political and social discussions. Feeling powerless as turmoil erupted outside, we turned to the digital sphere and founded this podcast. We wanted to highlight Gen-Z perspectives and focused on a bunch of different themes and topics, such as immigration, the BLM movement, and climate change. We also featured a multitude of guests, such as Alyssa Mastromonaco, to bridge together perspectives from different generations and even spent some time focusing on local politics.

I curated social media posts mainly to advertise for the episodes and took upon a more technological role, primarily audio editing, refining, and publishing.
