I joined the Orange County Register/SoCal News Group in July 2021 as a crime and public safety reporter. I graduated from the Toni Stabile Investigative program at Columbia University's School of Journalism in 2020 and then worked as a researcher for multiple publications. I was a 2020 Center for Health Journalism Impact Fund grantee. I was born and raised in Southern California and received a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Irvine where I was a double major in English and literary journalism.
