More about me
I am currently an M.S. Student at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. I focus on human-interest stories about race, gender, and sexuality. I have coursework in audio reporting and narrative writing. Since moving to New York in August 2019, I have been reporting local news, including how a Black hair salon has thrived throughout gentrification in Midtown Manhattan and writing features, including a 5000-word story on the relationship between race, racism, and psychotherapy. My masters thesis is an audio documentary focusing on how long term antiretroviral medication affects the speed at which HIV positive patients age.
Before coming to New York, I lived in Boston where I contributed articles to the art vertical at WBUR. I also co-hosted and co-launched my own podcast called the Whitest Cube. It's a podcast about the art world from the perspective of people of color. The show -- located on Apple, Stitcher, Spotify, and SoundCloud -- featured stories about race, representation, and dissent in art museums.
