I am a certified special and general education teacher and a graduate of the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication MA program at the University of Georgia. My interests include reporting on issues of diversity such as race or mental illness and community journalism. Some of my work can be found in Rethinking Schools Magazine, Current Health II and the Athens Banner-Herald. Currently, I am working full time in the social services field, freelancing and teaching a journalism course part time at Spelman College in Atlanta, Ga. while I prepare applications for PhD programs.
