OUR MISSON
Meet the Team
Jamari Turner
Jamari "Ari" Turner is a Kentucky native. She grew up in many different parts of Lexington. Ari's experiences growing up in Kentucky seeded her passion for history and people, particularly under-served populations. She is interested in documenting stories.
Caitlin Harmon
Though not a Kentucky native, Caitlin Harmon is a longtime Lexington resident with family ties across the bluegrass. She is interested in how people across the commonwealth experience their environment, their role in public life, and how they negotiate the tricky dynamics at work between themselves and other actors in the public spheres.
Halsten Higgs
Halsten Higgs is a transplant to Kentucky from another midwest state, Kansas. She has been part of startups, nonprofits, community projects, and many creative endeavors. An entrepreneurial outlook influences much that she does. She is excited to be nearer to people with Near Things.
