About

I'm a data reporter at Bankrate, where I write data-driven stories that break down complex financial topics and help consumers make better money decisions.Before joining Bankrate, I reported for NextAdvisor in partnership with TIME Magazine, The Boston Globe, Atlanta Business Chronicle and Charlotte Business Journal. My work has been cited by CBS News, the New York Times, CNBC and other major publications. I'm a member of the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing (SABEW), Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) and was selected as a Goldschmidt data fellow twice in 2024.Got tips or ideas?
