When I was in 6th grade, my world geography teacher assigned us “The Global Citizenship Project,” the premise of which was to select a global issue, conduct research on it and present our findings.

Most of the students found sources online or through our middle school media center, but I saw an opportunity to be a storyteller.

The main source for my project was a journalist from Rwanda who was in the US on asylum. He sat down with me for my first-ever interview and told me his story. After we had gone through my questions, he began calling me “little journalist” in French.

The rest is history. 

Now, I work as a Living/Arts correspondent for The Boston Globe, where I cover anything and everything under the desk.  I also help manage its social media (Twitter and Instagram), newsletters, and run the Boston at a Bargain column. I am entering my third year studying journalism at Boston University. 

I previously interned at BU Today where I covered student life, arts and culture and the BU experience. I also have bylines in Brookline.News and Cambridge Day, where I covered the arts and education, respectively. In Spring 2023, I was the Features Editor of The Daily Free Press, BU's independent student newspaper where I was promoted from writer to editor after only one semester.

Most of my free time is spent reading the books my best friend recommends, rooting for the Knicks, watching as much live theatre as I possibly can, and spending time with the people I love. Oh, and complaining about the bagel quality in Boston compared to New Jersey.  

I'd love to chat with you — feel free to drop me a line (or a pitch!) via email, social media or the contact form on this site.
