A story looking at the housing developments taking shape on UBC’s campus and what they signal about the university’s future growth.
I explored how these construction projects fit into wider housing pressures in Vancouver, combining reporting and research to connect a local campus story to a much bigger national conversation about housing and urban development.

Sometimes the things we enjoy aren't really about the thing itself.
On the surface, Forza Horizon 6 is a racing game. But the more time I spent with it, the less interested I became in racing.
Instead, I found myself exploring virtual versions of places I've wanted to visit for years, driving cars I've admired since childhood, and spending almost as much time taking photos as I did behind the wheel.
I wrote a short piece about cars, Japan, nostalgia, and how games can sometimes become something more than entertainment.

Transit and infrastructure stories are ultimately stories about people. In this piece, I looked at the latest push to bring SkyTrain to UBC, speaking with community stakeholders and digging into a project that has been debated for decades. My goal was to explain why the extension matters, what's standing in the way, and why so many students and residents continue to advocate for it.
