My Story
Growing up in Montclair, NJ, I was always immersed in conversations about current events and the role journalism plays in shaping our understanding of the world. These early experiences ignited a passion for storytelling and staying informed. When I arrived at Boston University, I initially set my sights on a career in medicine. However, after taking my first journalism class, I quickly realized my true calling was in reporting. Since then, I've contributed to on-campus publications, New England outlets, and CNN, where I've had the opportunity to dive into the stories that matter most.
My focus is on political reporting, especially in D.C., and I’m excited to continue uncovering the narratives that shape our society.
