About Me
IMG_0876%20copy%202_edited.jpg

Hello there,

​

A bit about me:

I have experience in local newsrooms as well as national reporting, covering everything from local courts to national campaigns.

​

I'm currently a reporter with Inside Washington Publishers, covering federal climate policy with Inside EPA. Previously, I've interned with The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and The Hill newspapers, and also served as managing news editor for my college daily, The Dartmouth.

​

I graduated Dartmouth in June 2021 with a BA in Comparative Literature, focusing in Spanish literature and Latin American Studies. I received high honors on a thesis discussing exile literature written by Spanish poet Leon Felipe and Argentine poet Juan Gelman, titled The Displaced Poet: Forced Cosmopolitanism and the Dislocated Nation in Transatlantic Exile Poetry.

 

I am fluent in Spanish. I have lived and studied in Argentina, Uruguay, Spain, Nicaragua and India.

​

I am enthusiastic about a wide variety of news opportunities, including politics and policy coverage. I am particularly interested in immigration, environment and education.
