Biography

I believe that a society or community needs to be informed to maintain a fair democracy. It is a journalist's job to engage with the reader and tell them new information, as well as listen to them and cover what they think is important. I'm curious about all subjects and all types of media, and have taken classes to become adaptable to every medium. Since I came to Chicago in 2016 to study journalism at DePaul University, I have published stories on local government, education, arts and culture, workers' strikes, housing and elections. I am also interested in web design and data journalism. The modality of web and digital journalism is ever-evolving, and I enjoy playing around with its functionality to make it more accessible to the reader. I have experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, SQLite, Microsoft Access and Python.
