Before finishing my master's degree at UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism in May 2023, I was a part-time reporter at Richmond Pulse, a regular contributor to Everyday Health, a blogger for JSTOR Daily, an editorial intern at DAME Magazine, a regular contributor to Verywell Health, and a contributing editor/editorial assistant at Narratively.

I've also done copyrighting work for AHIMA Foundation.
Clips on this website are some of my personal favorites.
Some fun facts about me:
1. I'm bilingual! I speak English and French
2. I love writing about a wide range of topics – some of my main beats are disability, pop culture, leftist activism, and chronic illness.
