More about me
I’m an award-winning News Reporter and Host in Washington, D.C. currently telling stories for the public radio station at 88.5FM and online at wamu.org. When the hosts of NPR's 1A, and WAMU's Morning Edition, Kojo Nnamdi Show, and All Things Considered are away from the studio - I happily fill in! For my reporting on the topics of race and identity in the nation's capital, I received a 2019 Edward R. Murrow award from the Radio Television Digital News Association and a nomination for Best Radio Feature in a Top 15 Market from the National Association of Black Journalists. I have more than a decade of experience in the news industry.
Prior to moving to Washington, I worked as a radio and television host, reporter, and producer at WXXI News - the PBS and NPR member station in Rochester, New York. During my tenure there, I earned a New York State Associated Press award for Best TV Feature, and a New York State Broadcasters Association award for Best Locally Produced TV Show. I was also a contributing reporter for PBS Newshour.
