Investigative Data Journalist. Born in Chicago, Based In Brooklyn. Bylines in THE CITY, Healthbeat.ORG, and The NYCITY NEws Service.
A recent graduate of the Craig Newmark School of Journalism at CUNY Master’s program, my reporting focuses on public health, emerging technologies, and government accountability. I’m a 2025 Charles H. Revson Data Fellow and 2025 Newmark Equity Through Data Fellow, and I have a penchant for wrangling and visualizing numbers in my stories. Lately I’ve been exploring custom builds of investigative reporting newsroom tools and programs; you can see some of those on my Github. I’m currently on the hunt for full-time reporting positions on the investigations, health, or data desks, and I’m working on a few freelance investigations.
Since beginning my reporting career in earnest, I’ve focused on investigative stories that peel back the layers of complexity in health and science, hold power to account, and give readers the clarity they need to make sense of their world. My stories break news, trace problem origins, follow the data, and name names for readers—not corporations or the government.
While covering the New York City primary election at THE CITY, I broke a first-of-its-kind, two-part data investigation into lead levels in New York City's drinking water. My analysis and reporting revealed that nearly 30% of NYC residents may be drinking lead-contaminated water, pointing to city laws that have long stymied the replacement of decades-old lead pipes across the five boroughs. Following publication, fourteen local outlets across the nation—including The Chicago Tribune and Inside Climate News—picked up the story, revealing new communities affected by lead pipe contamination.
Before Newmark, I spent the first five years of my professional career as a healthcare copywriter. I analyzed clinical trial data, battled FDA red tape to help bring new clinical treatments to market, and wrote hundreds of video and web ads. My work as an advertising creative sharpened my writing, data analysis, and deadline management, and built the foundation of my journalism career.
I received my M.A. in Journalism in December and am currently on the hunt for reporting roles. Check out my work or drop me a line below!
