​

I am an independent multimedia journalist.

​

I hold a master’s degree in broadcast journalism from American University and a bachelor’s degree in mass communication from the illustrious Tennessee State University. In June 2026, I completed a Master of Education degree from DePaul University, specializing in secondary English education.

​

My work is rooted in a passion for storytelling, journalism, and the power of words to inform, educate, and connect communities.

​

I have experience working in both national and local newsrooms. At Fox News Network, I worked as a junior booker in Washington, D.C., before receiving an opportunity to work on-air as a multimedia journalist at WZZM-13 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I then moved to Chicago, Illinois, to work as an assignment editor for the national news startup NewsNation. I also served as a civic reporting fellow at the nonprofit newsroom City Bureau before most recently completing a FOIA Fellowship with the Investigative Project on Race and Equity.

​

I grew up in foster care, full of questions that no one would answer. I learned to gather information and figure out the facts of my situation because I was never satisfied with just not knowing.

​

I made it my job to share information as I gathered it.

 

I’ve realized that, in a world full of misinformation, all I can do is gather the little pieces of evidence that truth leaves behind. Then, I offer its perspective to anyone willing to listen and learn from it.

​

I am a current member of the National Association of Black Journalists, where I won the 2018 NCAT Best News Writer Award. My debut journalism guide for new multimedia journalists was selected for the 2024 NABJ Outstanding Book Award at the organization’s 2024 National Convention. I currently serve as secretary on the Chicago Chapter Board of Directors.

​

In my spare time, I volunteer at places I learn about through my stories,    publish social media content, perform slam poetry, and binge-watch comedic drama's.
