I want to champion and affirm the essence of humanity. For two summers, I was an Indianapolis Press Club Foundation fellow, interning at Indiana Landmarks and the Indianapolis Recorder, where I focused on community stories that highlight and celebrate local voices and Black heritage.
Beyond bylines and storytelling, I love to watch playoff basketball, consume fashion content and nurture my knowledge of music history.
I joined Mirror Indy to help restore trust and integrity in journalism and address the local news desert crisis.
