I’m an award-winning journalist who focuses on data and accountability stories. Before joining Mirror Indy, I completed a two-year investigative reporting fellowship at ProPublica. As part of The Indy Star's investigations team, I helped expose deep flaws in Indiana’s nursing home system that allowed county hospitals to access more than $1 billion in Medicaid funds meant for nursing home care while the facilities' residents suffered. The series prompted the resignation of Marion County’s top health official and led to major reforms to how the state regulates long-term care funding.
Outside the newsroom, I like to spend time chasing my annual reading goal, playing Dungeons & Dragons or seeing a movie at Kan-Kan Cinema.
