I'm a freelance journalist based in the Philadelphia area. My work has appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Latina, and numerous other print and online outlets. I worked previously for Newsday in New York, covering health and science, education and municipal government. I joined Newsday in 2007 as a media intern in health reporting through the Kaiser Family Foundation program. I hold a Master’s degree from Columbia University’s School of Journalism and a Bachelor’s from the University of Delaware.
