Hello and welcome.
I am a journalist and audio producer in the Bay Area. I work in audio, print and digital media. Keep reading below to learn more about me, or visit the ‘Audio’ and ‘Writing’ pages to see samples of my work.
I’m currently a data reporter at The San Francisco Standard. To see my latest work, visit my bio page at The San Francisco Standard.
I graduated from the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism in May 2022. During journalism school I focused on data journalism, investigative reporting and audio production.
I worked as a freelance reporter for the New York Times Graphics Desk from September 2021 through May 2022, where I supported a long-term data-driven reporting project tracking the arrests that resulted from the January 6 Capitol riot.
During the summer of 2021 I was the open source investigative intern at the San Francisco Chronicle and I reported data-driven stories on Oakland’s police department and illegal trash-dumping crisis.
During my first year at journalism school, my focus was reporting on law enforcement. I reported on police misconduct as a data researcher for KQED and covered the Oakland Police Department for the UC Berkeley Investigative Reporting Program and Oakland North.
Before school, I worked as a producer on the second season of American Public Media’s Field Work podcast and interned for WBUR’s Endless Thread podcast.
I got my start in journalism in 2016 when my love of audio storytelling motivated me to pick up a mic, start recording interviews, and self-produce a local podcast. Since then my work has been published by The San Francisco Standard, KQED, The San Francisco Chronicle, New England Public Radio, Valley Free Radio, The Oaklandside, The Daily Hampshire Gazette, Berkeleyside, and more. I’ve covered everything from local government to agriculture to the arts. I love digging into long form investigative stories and I also have experience reporting quick turnaround news.
My background is in food and agriculture. I worked on vegetable and dairy farms throughout my teens and early 20s. I studied food systems at NYU for undergrad and my first professional jobs were in that field. First for the Massachusetts Food Policy Council and later for a non profit that supported farms across my native western Massachusetts. My first journalism job was writing the weekly agriculture column for my hometown newspaper, the Daily Hampshire Gazette.
