Current Work
Reporting Fellow at Inside Climate News (Jan. 2025-present)
I am currently a reporting fellow at Inside Climate News, having been a part of both their winter and summer fellow cohorts this year. At ICN, I focus on the nexus of climate change, public health and policy in the Chicagoland area and Midwest region, focusing on how state and local governments are finding solutions to the climate crisis and protecting health care accessibility amidst a period of regulatory change. I've covered issues such as the 2001 Roadless Rule, reproductive health care, electric vehicles and more. See my full body of work for ICN here!
Graduate Student at Northwestern University Medill (Sept. 2024-Sept. 2025)
At Northwestern, I specialize in Health, Environment and Science reporting. I've covered those topics in Chicago communities with a specific focus on health insurance policies, developments in neuroscience and community-led initiatives to combat climate change. Notably, I spent 6 weeks living in Puerto Rico as part of Medill's embedded reporting program, where I traveled to dozens of small communities to talk to residents about their water systems and roadblocks to clean water accessibility. This reporting was done in both English and Spanish, my second language.
