About

Midori (me-do-r-ee)

I believe in the power of media as a means of escape, hope, and nostalgia. I’ve always had an affinity for sharing compelling stories through my love for art, speaking, and writing.

According to 23andMe, my genetics make me less likely to be afraid of public speaking and I have 65 followers on X. So clearly, that first statement is not just something I made up with no backbone.

I’ve once been described by others as the “Huffliest Puff.” In Harry Potter, Hufflepuffs are known for their loyalty, patience, and hard work.

Two of my favorite memories are going Cliff Jumping in Cinque Terre, Italy and attending the Cannes Film Festival in Spring 2023!

I also love talking movies! If you’ve got time, check out my Letterboxd
