Journalist interested in climate, business and thoughtful language

About

Hi! I am a journalist interested in both reporting and producing the news. I am especially invested in all aspects of environmental coverage, given the existential threat of climate change. Currently, I am a digital rotational associate at CNBC's "Closing Bell: Overtime."I recently graduated from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, where I spent years reporting, editing and mentoring new recruits at The Daily Northwestern. Outside of NU, I have also reported on Asian American communities, scientific research and politics. I am fluent in AP style and hope to reach fluency in Spanish, and as an experienced copy editor, I'm also passionate about promoting more inclusive language in journalism. I'd love to chat about any of the above topics as well as my beloved New York Knicks.You can find my resume here.

Here you can find some of my favorite things I've worked on, sorted by publication.These are my producing and writing samples; please email me for a selection of stories I've edited.
