I’m a three-time Emmy-nominated journalist with a decade of experience in media who has covered major national stories like the aftermath of the Charlottesville ‘Unite the Right’ rally and President Trump’s “travel ban” in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. I became a journalist to speak for the voiceless, like my severely disabled sister. I have used my platform to shed light on important issues impacting people with disabilities and other vulnerable and disenfranchised communities. I won a Catalyst for Change award from the ARC of Virginia for the impact of my reporting and an Emmy nomination for an investigation exposing neglect and abuse at an assisted living facility. My goal as a journalist is to leave the world a better place by spreading hope with my work while ensuring the truth is always told, and wrongdoing is exposed.
