As Mirror Indy’s service reporter, my goal is to serve the Indianapolis community by sharing resources that make life a little easier. I also write our daily newsletter, In the Mirror, which is a mix of news, community events, and arts and culture.
I joined Mirror Indy because I believe in the mission of community-based journalism wholeheartedly. When I’m not working, I love to take walks, read and try new recipes and restaurants.
I graduated from Kent State in 2023 with my journalism degree. Before coming to Indianapolis, I had internships at The New York Times through the Dow Jones News Fund and Dayton Daily News.
