Hi! I'm a journalist in Queens, NY. I've covered a variety of topics including how climate change affects residents of color in New York City, disparities in gifted and talented enrollment in Kentucky, and the spread of COVID in ICE detention centers in Georgia. My stories have appeared on local public radio stations as well as NPR, Futuro Media and the BBC. This year, I'm an Alicia Patterson Foundation fellow writing about floods. I graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School, Temple University and the CUNY School of Journalism. I'm an adjunct professor at the latter where I teach research. Despite my best efforts, my social media posts contain typos.
