about me

In December 2024, I earned my master's in journalism from the University of Maryland, where I published feature stories for over a dozen outlets in Maryland and Washington, D.C. I covered diverse topics — from private policing to water pollution concerns — honing my ability to craft compelling, research-based narratives tailored to varied audiences.

Some of my recent work has been published in the Afro, East of the River, Baltimore Banner, and the Baltimore Sun.

While pursuing my degree, I also supported the RESPIRAR Project, a multi-million dollar National Institute of Health initiative, as a Science Communications Graduate Assistant. Collaborating with an interdisciplinary team addressing the health of migrant and seasonal farmworkers, I translated technical information into accessible content, developed cohesive messaging, and supported strategic communications. I remain active on the Project as the Science Communications Consultant.

Prior to attending graduate school, I dedicated a decade to local environmental and equity initiatives in the Washington, D.C., area. My journey began by documenting and sharing the work of D.C. residents fighting for clean air and water in their communities. These experiences taught me firsthand the power of storytelling and led me to produce documentaries and educational programs.

My BA in Geography and Environmental Studies from George Washington University deepened my understanding of interactions between people and their built and natural environments — an awareness that helps me craft narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.
