As Mirror Indy's service reporter, I share resources that make your daily life easier and more affordable. I love to explain how things work in our city and to make sure you can get access to helpful services.
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.
