Before coming to Mirror Indy, I covered business, development and housing for IndyStar.
Outside work, I love running, swimming, reading and hanging out with my cat. I'm also a coach for Girls on the Run of Central Indiana.
I’m passionate about giving Indianapolis residents — especially students — essential and accessible local news! Higher education can be difficult to navigate, and I want to be a resource that untangles that web.
