About Me

I'm a digital journalist with experience in writing, video, podcasting, audio production, video production, some photo work and project management. My work has appeared in The Washington Post, The Gazette, The Atlantic, Sno-Cone and several defunct zines. I have a journalism degree from the University of Missouri, with a political science minor and a Master’s in communications from American University. One of these days, I'm going to write a book about journalism.

​

I speak functional Spanish and less-than-functional Italian, Hebrew and Ladino. I have covered such events as DC high school sports, the 2008 election of Barack Obama, DC Sniper trials, multiple government shutdowns, the 2016 election, Snowpocalypse , the COVID-19 pandemic and many others.

​

I used to run a blog with my late friend about Chicago baseball that has been dormant for a while. I also wrote a project that reviewed all 500 albums on Rolling Stone‘s list of the best of all time. I have a semi-dormant album review blog called Albums that I Own. It's not updated often.

​

I live, play softball and work in Washington, D.C. with my bulldog Lulu, seen below.
