Objective
I'm a reporter with experience reporting in outlets as varied as daily newspapers, monthly magazines, and blogs. I also spent a year editing
The Crimson's weekly magazine and overseeing in-depth investigations of instutitions at Harvard. My experiences in journalism have pushed me to be a diligent and creative reporter with a sharp eye for little stories that have the potential to illuminate much larger issues. I am passionate about covering both daily news and spending time on overlooked stories — the everyday occurrences that aren’t always picked up in daily headlines.
