About Me

I am a senior at American University studying journalism and computer science.  I'm currently serving a year long term as the Editor in Chief of AWOL Magazine, a student publication that focuses on in-depth, critical storytelling. 

I have been known to cry over my love of Chicago, and I split my time between there and DC. I'm really interested in figuring out how journalism can be used as a tool for civic engagement and community building.

My areas of interest when it comes to reporting are education, housing, race, technology and transportation. I am also interested in the realm of data journalism.

Outside of AWOL, I have worked for RealChiYouth and City Bureau, two Chicago based nonprofit newsrooms.
