About me

I’m a public relations professional with a background in journalism, international affairs, and health and wellness. I covered immigration, education, and politics as a journalist with bylines in TEEN VOGUE, POLITICO, The Wash, and The Investigative Reporting Workshop.

Currently, I’m the Public Relations Manager at C4ADS, a nonprofit research organization that provides data-driven analysis and evidence-based reporting on global conflict and transnational security issues. I help build relationships between journalists and analysts working on hot-button issues in the national security and international affairs spaces.

I hold a Bachelor’s from Lenoir-Rhyne University in Politics and International Affairs with a minor in Spanish and a Master’s degree from American University in International Journalism and Public Affairs.
