I love stories big and small, and I've reported on issues across the world, around the country, and right here in New York.

Right now, I report for The New York Times as part of its 2023-2024 fellowship program. My work focuses on the war in Gaza, and I've also covered the Russia-Ukraine war, natural disasters and the Nobel Prizes.

I just graduated from Brown University with a degree in computer science and English. I was a senior editor at my college paper, The Brown Daily Herald, where I founded a data journalism team dedicated to creating interactive and immersive ways to tell stories.

I also covered transportation on The Washington Post’s metro desk and have reported about opioids and COVID for newspapers in Virginia and Rhode Island.

Outside of writing and coding, I have a tendency to neglect my basil plants and go on long drives, especially up and down the east coast.

I assigned and edited this project to showcase the results from our semesterly poll. I designed and helped code the website and also made Datawrapper graphs.

To illustrate campus discussion on NFTs at the Rhode Island School of Design, I edited the text and helped design and code the website.

I assigned this piece and guided the reporters through the reporting and design process.

For this project, I oversaw a team of writers, designers and coders to document Brown's property expansion in Providence.

After collecting data from The Washington D.C. area's transit systems, I illustrated their ridership post-pandemic using Datawrapper.

I helped clean and organize data on the imprisoned Palestinians who were released during a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in late November.
