Journalist
I am a journalism student at Temple University who has been reporting and writing in Philadelphia for four years. My work has been recognized and awarded by professional state and national agencies.
I’m passionate about being ingrained in the communities I report on and telling the stories of people most impacted by the issues at hand. Every person has a story worth telling; all you’ve got to do is ask the right questions and capture the right moment.
