After historic flooding in Indy, many neighbors face a long road to recovery.

As Mirror Indy's southside reporter, I chat with residents who live in Fountain Square through County Line Road, working to highlight neighbors' concerns and accomplishments.
Before joining Mirror Indy, I covered health and education stories for WFYI — Indy’s local public radio station — and some of my reporting has aired on NPR and the BBC. My passion for teaching is why I’m a deputy managing editor for Next Gen Radio, a national mentorship program for early career journalists.
When I’m not reporting, I’m teaching yoga or HIIT classes, listening to podcasts or cuddling with my dachshund named Henry and my cat, Jheri.
