I’m a freelance journalist based out of New Haven, CT and reporting from Atlanta, GA in summer 2024. I’m also a senior at Yale College studying English with an interest in modern literature, New Journalism, and poetry.

I’m part of the Yale Journalism Initiative, and my work is featured in publications including The Nation, Barron’s, POLITICO and The Atlantic. I’ve interned at Fortune Magazine and The Morning Call. I’ve won the Society of Professional Journalists — Connecticut Chapter’s Bob Eddy Scholarship for student journalists (2024) and Yale English Department’s Orlo Prize in modern essay (2022).

I’m currently reading Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino.
