I'm a reporter at heart who enjoys diving into research and data to unearth actionable, relatable, and understandable truth for readers. My goal is always to make sense of and clearly communicate complex issues with compassion, inclusion, honesty, and scientifically-based reporting—and whenever possible, to share helpful tips and build community.
