Hello! As a journalist based in New York City, I write and anchor a web series for Beme News, CNN Digital Productions’ millennial-focused YouTube channel. It’s called “More Than You Wanted to Know,” and dives deep into the history, policy, science and law behind the headlines.
I’m also an Associate Producer for Anderson Cooper 360 at CNN, where I’ve produced two Emmy-nominated special reports (Finding Hope: Battling America’s Suicide Crisis and The Parkland Diaries, about the Parkland survivors and the beginnings of the March for Our Lives movement). I have also covered the Trump Presidency, the August 12th white nationalist riot in Charlottesville, Hurricane Maria’s impact on Puerto Rico, among many, many others.
I also just completed my dissertation for my second master’s degree, an M.A. in War Studies, through King’s College London’s distance learning program. My research is on American journalism at the turn of the 20th century and its coverage of Anarchist terrorism, an early example of the often-symbiotic relationship between the media and terrorist actors. I also hold a Master of Public Policy degree from the University of Virginia, where I completed research on the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid expansion. My B.A. with distinction in History is also from the University of Virginia, where I was a Jefferson Scholar.
