About

I am currently the service editor with The Philadelphia Inquirer, working to expand our well of evergreen and service content.I previously worked as a digital producer with the Inquirer. And before that, I was a Pa. issues reporter at the York Daily Record, part of the USA Today Network, where I chronicled the ongoing child sexual abuse by priests in Pennsylvania and covered the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting for USA Today. I also graduated from Penn State in May 2018 after leading one of the top-ranked, student-run newspapers in the country, The Daily Collegian, as editor in chief.
