Most recently, I served as a data reporter at Morning Consult where I worked collaboratively with data scientists to craft surveys that we used to better understand the public’s interests and beliefs. I learned how to parse data, spotting trends and curating insights. I blended that with my reporting experience to help add perspectives and provide a narrative to helped make the data more approachable to our audience.

Previously, I worked at Mic where I sought to feed young, hungry audiences with stories that mattered to them and showed them how to make a difference. I helped to shape Mic’s Impact section, which was filled with meaningful stories that highlighted marginalized voices, pulled back the veil on the systems that we interact with, and made real impact in the communities we covered.

I was able to shape my voice at Gizmodo as an editor where I was blessed with the freedom to flex and hone my skills and deliver impactful stories to a large and engaged readership. I built up sources and connections at Newsweek Media Group, where I headed up tech coverage and broke stories about how the Trump administration would approach tech regulation, reported previously uncovered details about legislation, and added context to some of the biggest data breaches and hacks of the era.

I got started as a staff writer at the Daily Dot, where I grew as a reporter by learning how to embed in communities and spot trends by talking to people who were on the ground and experiencing things firsthand. I began to develop my beat and expand my coverage from just the tech industry to the ways that tech touches all of our lives — a theme I have carried with me throughout my career.
