I am an award-winning reporter with a passion for creating community-centered journalism. As one of Houston Landing's civic engagement reporters, I tell stories through a resident-focused lens, looking for ways to help Houstonians better understand and connect with their communities. I am experienced in covering stories ranging from explanatory articles about local governments and municipal elections to feature packages exploring the widely felt impacts of a local library system’s decision to ban books with LGBTQ+ themes. I believe in the power empathetic reporting to create impactful journalism.
