I’m an Arizona-based journalist with a background in multimedia journalism and production working as a digital web producer here in Phoenix, Arizona. Before arriving here in the southwest, I worked as a digital producer in Colorado Springs, Colo.


I obtained my master's degree in Broadcast Journalism from the esteemed American University in May of 2021. While completing my studies there, I worked as a graduate assistant with Wendy Melillo, award-winning journalist and author of How McGruff and the Crying Indian Changed America: A History of Iconic Ad Council Campaigns. 

​

I received my bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication in May 2020. While there, I acted as editor-in-chief of the student-operated newspaper Tiger's Roar between 2019 and 2020, managing staff and covering news both on campus and in the greater Savannah area, including the election of SSU alumni Mayor Van Johnson.

​

I also completed a summer internship with Gannett-owned publication Savannah Morning News working under former executive editor Susan Catron during my senior year.  

​

In 2018, I also finished the film technician program at the Georgia Film Academy at Savannah Technical College, working on a variety of student short films, Amazon and Hulu television shows performing technical work and background.
