THE STATE NEWSPAPER
Columbia, South Carolina
I am a higher education and K-12 education reporter for The State. My beat was initially molded around the University of South Carolina, but I have taken on the additional responsibility of covering our K-12 schools, including two of the largest districts in South Carolina, as well as statewide education policy. I was also a weekend breaking news reporter for a year in addition to my beat work. I keep a pulse on what matters to our community members and readers, and prioritize doing work that keeps university and education officials accountable. Along with writing daily and enterprise stories, I am involved with engagement efforts like hosting an educators' round table; an experimental education news sprint focused on hyper-local, quick-turn reporting; and managing the newspaper's first ever collaboration with The Daily Gamecock, the student newsroom at USC.

O'BRIEN FELLOWSHIP IN PUBLIC SERVICE JOURNALISM
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
I was a reporting intern and student researcher with the O'Brien Fellowship during reporter Guy Boulton's tenure as a 2021-2022 fellow exploring the impacts of the social determinants of health — housing, food, transportation, etc. — on the residents of Milwaukee, and the disconnect between spending on health care and social services. I contributed to the final project titled "A New Prescription," which earned national awards from the National Headliner Awards, the Society of Professional Journalists and the Association of Health Care Journalists. I also independently reported on the dwindling number of parish nurses in Milwaukee as a part of the series.
