few kids at the age of 12 know what they want to be when they grow up. for me, a simple homework assignment in the 7th grade turned me to the journalism world — and i’ve never looked back.
throughout my career as a student journalist, i have constantly advocated for the millennial generation’s voice to be connected and heard. over the past year, i have invested a great deal of my time exploring social justice issues on a local, national and international level. from the tension between law enforcement and black and brown communities to access to women’s healthcare in third world countries to the contamination of water in a small town in michigan, my passion is to report on the stories that matter to our world. through my discovery of these topics, my writing skills have grown, where i am able to write and report on the issues that often don’t make the everyday news or is silenced by others. i believe it is important to share my passion and shed light on the important stories that are often overlooked on a day-to-day basis.
my byline has been featured in a variety of news publications, including the state press asu, the arizona republic/azcentral.com, the arizona capitol times, usa today, and politico.
if i'm not hunched over my laptop at a local coffee shop or frantically running around phoenix trying to make my deadline, you can find me exploring new restaurants, taking trips to sedona, thrifting or creating a new vegetarian recipe in my kitchen.
