As Mirror Indy's higher education reporter, I cover the education Indy students get after high school, from college to workforce.
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.
Iām passionate about giving Indianapolis residents ā especially students ā essential and accessible local news! Higher education can be difficult to navigate, and I want to be a resource that untangles that web.
