I’m an Indianapolis-native who has been covering the city in some form or another for nearly a decade. My reporting has appeared in the Indianapolis Recorder, NUVO, Indianapolis Monthly Magazine and The Washington Post.
When I’m not at work, I’m usually catching a movie at Kan-Kan Cinema or browsing through Indy CD & Vinyl.
I joined the Mirror Indy team to help fill in the gaps in Indy's arts reporting and to highlight the creatives working in the city.
