What I Do

I lead audience strategy to connect people with essential local journalism across our platforms. My work focuses on strengthening community engagement, making our reporting more accessible and useful, and helping great stories reach the audiences they impact most.

My Background

I joined the organization in 2020. Previously, I was an Emma Bowen Fellow for PBS FRONTLINE, a Marketing and Engagement Intern at Mississippi Today, and a freelance writer for the Jackson Free Press. I earned a B.A. in Journalism from The University of Southern Mississippi in 2020. I was born in Monroe, Louisiana, and live in New Orleans, Louisiana.
