About Me

An unconventional path to the journalism industry…

My journey into journalism hasn’t always been easy, but it has been incredibly meaningful. I grew up with speech disabilities and didn’t speak until the age of four, a challenge that could have easily steered me away from a career built on communication. Instead, I used it as motivation. What once felt like a limitation became a driving force behind pursuing a profession where my voice matters. I hope my story encourages others facing similar obstacles and shows that with persistence, they can turn challenges into strengths and achieve their goals.

Although I initially enrolled at Binghamton University with the goal of pursuing a career in business as an Accounting Major, my passion for journalism has always been a driving force in my life. After extensive sports journalism experiences in college, I found myself continually drawn to the world of journalism. I was so eager to get started in the field that I borrowed equipment from my high school TV studio teacher and created my own reporter reel.

On my journey to put this reel together, I learned the importance of being resourceful and creative. I reached out to both candidates running for mayor in my town for a political piece and connected with a family organizing a race to raise money for childhood cancer research after losing their son to cancer. These experiences taught me the value of taking an unconventional approach and embracing new challenges.

Today, I believe that my unique background and perspective give me a valuable edge in the industry. I am passionate about disrupting the industry and pushing boundaries in my work, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.
