I am an award-winning journalist with over a decade of experience spanning digital, print, audio, and broadcast. 

In addition to a thriving freelance career, I currently work as the reproductive rights reporter for The American Independent (TAI News) a progressive political news site.

I recently co-wrote a short story titled “Blue Dawn: A horrifying tale in real-time” which is currently in development with Billy Porter’s production company, Incognegro. 

In 2022, I was awarded the Rosalynn Carter Fellowship in Mental Health Journalism. My project was a series of articles focused on the mental health of Black teachers and educators in the U.S. 

My independent work has appeared in The Washington Post, Playboy magazine, Colorlines, Race Forward, The Hollywood Reporter, HuffPost, VICE News, Bustle, NBC, Cosmopolitan magazine, The Los Angeles Times, Reckon News, and more. 

From my early days writing about local businesses and reporting on the U.S.-Mexico border, I’ve been drawn to deeply reported narrative stories, focusing on culture and race, and giving a voice to those who go unheard.

I’m a proud member of the National Association of Black Journalists and a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University.
