About

I tell stories about real people and how larger trends – in economics, politics, culture, and the environment – affect communities and neighborhoods on the local level. I always look for opportunities to combine writing with data visualizations, videos, and other multimedia elements to tell a deeper story. My skills include beat reporting, writing for digital (including headline, SEO and URL optimization), social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat), investigative and data reporting, basic graphics and data visualization. I'm experienced in Excel, Adobe Premiere Pro and Canva, and I've strengthened my skills with R in recent months. I graduated magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa and with highest distinction from Duke University. I received a degree in public policy, a certificate in policy journalism, and a minor in environmental science.
