BIO

​

I grew up in Dallas, TX, where I played competitive soccer and read every book I could get my hands on. That turned me into an adult who loves teamwork, competition, stories and writing. Obviously, this is perfect for journalism. I ended up in my high school's film and news program, because I thought I wanted to work in film, but ended up falling in love with news. 

​

Now, I'm a congress reporter at NOTUS, and a fellow at the Allbritton Journalism Institute. My work has largely centered around the state of Texas (which is my beat), and immigration politics. 

​

Previously, I was a data journalist at the Sacramento Observer via Report for America, where wrote long-form stories, many inspired by data trends I found, and then independently reported out, such as rising health insurance rates in the Black community or declining child poverty during the pandemic. Before that, I was a digital producer at KSHB 41 in Kansas City, and got to work on a litany of special projects, like podcasts, and breaking news, including one school shooting. 

​

Outside of news, I run a book podcast with some friends called the Busy Girls Book Club (check us out!), I'm a vegetarian, I own the cutest dog known to man and I spend lots of time running and doing Pilates. I travel, and one of my favorite things to do in a new city is explore its vegan dining scene.
