Objective
As a journalist, my goal is to be thoughtful, inclusive, and nuanced in every step of the reporting process—I aim to bring this approach to every story I tell, whether it is in print or audio form. I am especially interested in covering marginalized communities that have historically been underrepresented in mainstream media.
