I am a Texas-based journalist currently serving as an editor for the Fort Worth Report, the city’s first nonprofit news outlet established in 2021. Between late 2021 and mid-2024, I covered environmental issues across North Texas for the Report.

Before that, I worked for The Fort Worth Star-Telegram through Report for America, a program revitalizing local news by sending emerging reporters to more than 200 community newsrooms.

Prior to joining the Star-Telegram in June 2020, I worked as an associate editor for three trade publications in Dallas. I also interned for several news orgs, including the Texas Tribune, NPR, USA TODAY College, the Investigative Reporting Workshop and Washington Monthly.

I was a member of the Solutions Journalism Network’s first climate solutions cohort. My work has earned recognition from Texas Managing Editors, the Society of Professional Journalists Fort Worth chapter and the Sierra Club’s Lone Star chapter.

After graduating from American University in Washington, D.C. in 2019, I moved back to my hometown of Plano with the hope of pursuing journalism beyond the coasts.

At AU, I served as editor-in-chief of the student newspaper, The Eagle. Working on The Eagle staff, and reporting on our D.C. community day in and day out, cemented my passion for local news.

Outside of journalism, you can find me scouting out which concerts I can afford, watching new standup specials and documentaries or tuning into a Dallas Mavericks game.
