About & Contact

Open to summer 2027 internships

I'm a junior at New York University double majoring in journalism and English literature with a concentration in creative writing, on the Dean's List in 2024–25 and 2025–26. I studied arts criticism in London and report on the people and policies that shape New York neighborhoods. I'm building toward investigative reporting on technology and consumer business.
