Biography
My news writing and feature stories are published in Inc. Magazine, Business Insider, The Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM), The Texas Observer, JSTOR Daily, and more. I specialize in a wide range of topics, from technology in the workplace and employment law to the intricacies of the restaurant industry and other timely workplace subjects. I've even written about the changing community college funding in Texas and the current difficulties college graduates face in finding full-time work. I'm open to exploring new topics and approaches to publishing stories. My passion intersects with data journalism and social science research, where I apply fresh perspectives to longstanding problems, especially when new laws meet old challenges. I’m also a sought-after ghostwriter for CEOs in the HR industry. I excel at asking the right questions while interviewing sources, drawing overall lessons or conclusions for a story, crafting concise news pieces, conducting deep research, and more. I interview experts and global celebrities. I began my freelance writing career at the onset of the pandemic in early 2020. I was among the first to break stories on issues like unfair unemployment compensation within the restaurant industry, the confusion around tip-sharing among staff because managers and owners started to change the goalposts on their tip policies because of the new PPP loan rules, and the sector’s high quit rates during the pandemic. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in the service industry, I bring a unique, trusted voice to the restaurant and bar industry. One of my major reports, published by SHRM, highlighted how HR professionals, or the lack thereof, directly impacted the unemployment benefits process for service workers. I revealed, through the tall task of compiling unstructured data from different U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics sources, that 8% of U.S. eating and drinking establishments offer HR services to their employees. I included interviews by renowned sommelier Victoria James, two Boston bartenders, and HR experts. My recent achievements include the following: Awarded two conference scholarships from the Online News Association: 1. As a successful early career professional in 2022, and 2. In 2023, as a member of the diversity and inclusion community; The first to report on how the Trump administration's tariff threats in early 2025 frightened U.S. SMBs over losing revenues and clients; and, The first to report the role AI tools play in developing soft skills among SMBs' leadership and executive professionals.
