My name is Jess Van, and I was born and raised in Cambodia, a country renowned for Angkor Wat and its rich culture. Currently, I am pursuing a bachelor's degree in Visual Communication at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication, Syracuse University, in Syracuse, New York. I have a background in volunteering and working on educational and mental health projects, including leading a digital campaign for intergenerational trauma and creating a psychological first-aid training program. Over the years, I have developed a strong passion for photography and videography. Living and studying in the United States has stimulated me to appreciate the value of storytelling. My goal is to raise awareness about social issues through photo documentaries and documentary films.
Welcome, I hope you enjoy my work. Let's connect.
