Biography

I'm an award-winning journalist with extensive experience and a commitment to excellence. After working as a staff reporter for over a decade, I'm now an independent journalist taking on freelance assignments. I also do grant writing and other work that requires expertise in researching, writing, editing, and storytelling. A former teacher, I've reported extensively on education. I covered the issue at the national, state, and local level for Chalkbeat. I also write about LGBTQ+ issues, racial justice, and more. My writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Mother Jones, USA Today, and the Associated Press, among other publications.
