About Me
I am a graduate of the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University. I hold a Master's Degree in investigative journalism and a Bachelor of Arts in psychology. I also served briefly as a Peace Corps volunteer in Malawi from 2019-2020.
Most of my experience in journalism thus far has been enterprise stories but have some experience with breaking news. I also dabble in multimedia and have experience producing audio stories, video editing, and photography. While I do not have one particular multimedia skill that I have honed and perfected throughout my journalism career, I am a fast learner and can do anything with time and patience.

Outside of journalism, I enjoy exercising, traveling, and discussing hip-hop.
