Alma Mater: Kent State University
I graduated from Kent State in 2023 with my journalism degree. Before coming to Indianapolis, I worked as an editing intern at The New York Times through the Dow Jones News Fund and as a reporting intern for Dayton Daily News.
When I'm not researching and writing about initiatives and resources that support Indianapolis residents, I love to take walks, read poetry and try new recipes and restaurants.
I joined Mirror Indy because I believe in the mission of community-based journalism wholeheartedly. My goal is to serve the community by sharing resources that make life a little easier.
