I am an enterprise reporter at the Daily Memphian, where my reporting reveals how education policies shape the lives of children and families.
My Memphis journalism career began in 2019 at The Commercial Appeal, a USA Today Network paper, where I reported on education and other general news for nearly four years. I continued local education reporting as a journalist at Chalkbeat Tennessee.
Before that, I worked in New Orleans as a life and culture reporter for NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune and in New York City as a digital editor for This Old House magazine.
I earned degrees in both journalism and dance from the University of Alabama. Later, I completed an education finance certification program at the Edunomics Lab at Georgetown University.
I am partial to stories in and about the South.
Also: “Intrepid” and “precise” in Nieman Storyboard. “A reporter … asking questions” in The New Yorker. “Prominently (noting) the paucity of further details” in the Columbia Journalism Review.
