I’m a solutions-oriented reporter covering education in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service. I'm also a Report for America corps member.
Formerly based in Detroit, Michigan, my writing has appeared in Chalkbeat Detroit, Outlier Media, Bridge Detroit, Business Insider, and The South End. I covered Detroit city meetings for Detroit Documenters for over three years and helped pilot the their Docu-Mentor program.
My work with Streetlight Detroit, Outlier Media's former public safety and policing newsletter, gained recognition from the Poynter Institute's Local Edition and Harvard's Nieman Lab. In 2024, I spoke about my article reviewing Detroit's history of police political surveillance units on Michigan Public's Stateside radio show. I was also featured in Documenting the Documenters, where I spoke about my work in the Detroit Documenters program (see below).
I recieved my bachelors degree in urban studies and public history at Wayne State University in Detroit.
