More about me
I am a producer for Oregon Public Broadcasting’s daily talk show, “Think Out Loud.” I previously worked as a breaking news reporter at The Oregonian, and have written for Willamette Week and the Austin American-Statesman. I graduated from the University of Oregon in 2016 with a degree in journalism. I'm an Oregon native, and love local news.

I'm interested in the intersection of audio journalism and community engagement, and how we can do better to work with the communities we cover for accuracy and true representation.
