My written work

I have four years of experience reporting at the college level and in multiple professional newsrooms. My hundreds of bylines span all topics and sections of the newspaper, from breaking news to features to sports.

Multimedia

I have produced a weekly podcast, feature videos, social media content, data-driven reporting, and photography. I’m passionate about dynamic approaches to storytelling that complement our fast-paced modern media landscape.
