I am an early career multimedia journalist and recent graduate from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Arizona State University.

 

Being neurodivergent and raised in rural Western New York, I've seen firsthand what a lack of voice can do to marginalized communities. This led to me to seeking in a career where making an honest difference in other's lives is part of the job.

Receiving the "Best Journalist" award at the 2019 Western New York Model United Nations Conference drove me to pursue a degree in the profession along with a minor in French. From covering disability access in Rwanda to extensively investigating Arizona's political corruption— at ASU I took pride in raising questions on what can be done better and brought to our attention.

I now work on Equal Access Public Media's social media team, where I pioneer creating content that engages audiences with accessibility for all in mind. My hobbies include urban exploration, writing, drawing, and traveling.
