I'm an Indy native with roots in non-profit and arts management. I am excited to be part of creating a community-powered news resource in Indianapolis.
I'm thrilled that the Indy Documenters program will give citizens of Indianapolis the opportunity to participate in civic discussions and be paid for their work. It could be revolutionary to local media.
Outside of work, I like to create music, practice yoga, and garden.
