About Me

I'm a graduate student at the Columbia Journalism School, where my coursework has included Reporting, Investigative Techniques, Journalism Law and Journalism Ethics. I received honors for outstanding performance in both Writing for the Ear: Broadcast and Video Journalism. Additionally, I shot, directed, produced and edited a short documentary on how NYC's inaccessible subway system fails disabled riders.


I graduated from Dartmouth College in 2025. I majored in English with a concentration in Creative Writing and minored in Film & Media Studies. My passion for journalism was ignited during my time as an Executive Editor at The Dartmouth student newspaper. 


In my free time, I enjoy running, musical theater and creative writing!
