As Mirror Indy's K-12 education reporter, I write about kids' experiences growing up in the city from birth to senior year.
I'm an IU graduate and spent several years covering K-12 and higher education for both The Times of Northwest Indiana and The South Bend Tribune.
Most recently, I helped Inside INdiana Business launch a business and development newsletter in northern Indiana.
Outside of work, I love to read, catch up with friends over brunch and cheer on the Hoosiers.
I'm thrilled to join Mirror Indy! This talented team is as passionate about Indianapolis and community-driven journalism as I am.
