JOURNALISM / NEWS CURATION
Hello! I’m a New York City-based multimedia journalist and recent graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia. In May 2025, I earned an M.A. in Journalism with an emphasis in cross-platform editing and producing.
I am currently employed as an Editorial Fellow at Apple News.
During my time as a fellow, I have curated article collections and recipe groups, produced audio segments for the Apple News Today podcast, wrote copy for the Good Morning from Apple News newsletters and social media, and collaborated on coverage plans for events, such as The Grammy Awards and The Oscars.
In previous roles as Editor-in-Chief at Vox Magazine and intern for St. Louis Magazine, I developed and refined my skills as a writer, editor, and producer. I’m now eager to bring that experience to a full-time position in a dynamic newsroom or media environment.
Here, you’ll find a selection of my work, including curated article collections, writing clips, editor’s letters, and multimedia pieces produced during my graduate studies.
