Environment and Data Reporter at Mississippi Today

What I Cover

I cover water issues, pollution, natural disasters, energy, infrastructure, climate resilience, and other environmental topics. Environmental reporting is the best beat — everyone knows this — and I approach it with a commitment to connecting the dots between environmental challenges and their impact on people’s lives.

My Background

I joined Mississippi Today in 2017 as an intern straight out of Boston University, where I earned my degree in 2017. Since then, I’ve built my career here, focusing on environmental reporting and data-driven journalism. I was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up in New York City. I now live in Jackson, Mississippi.
