About

I’m a freelance journalist based in Atlanta, focused on community-centered reporting. I write for Decaturish and Appen Media, covering public meetings, local events, and feature stories that highlight North Atlanta communities.

I excel at source development, deadline-driven reporting, and turning interviews and observations into clear, engaging stories that elevate local voices. I also produce multimedia content—from podcasts to photo essays—while collaborating with neighbors and organizations to inform and connect our communities.
