I’m a writer with experience across journalism, policy research, and education, specializing in clear, structured communication. I hold a BA in Public Policy and Cognitive Psychology from the University of Virginia, where I developed a strong foundation in analytical writing, argumentation, and human reasoning. Professionally, I’ve written and edited investigative reporting on governance and public institutions, contributed policy research used by national scholars, and created educational materials for both children and standardized-test students. These roles trained me to explain complex ideas accurately, adapt tone to different audiences, and maintain consistency across large bodies of work.
