I graduated from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism with bachelor's and master's degrees. For the summer of 2023, I reported on Dallas City Hall and local government for The Dallas Morning News.In spring of 2022, I was a reporting fellow at The Texas Tribune, where I reported from Austin on education, state politics and breaking news. Our reporting won an Edward R. Murrow Award for breaking news coverage. At the Tribune, I also reported from the U.S-Mexico border on the economic impacts of a border blockade and from Uvalde where I covered the state’s worst school shooting and its devastating impact on the community. I have previously worked for The Chicago Sun-Times and The New York Post, where I reported for the papers’ metro desks covering city politics, crime and social justice initiatives.
