What I Cover

I write about a variety of topics for the Chronicle Intelligence division, which produces in-depth reports, case studies, virtual events, and other content to inform and empower our audience.

In addition to reporting on subjects like the emergence of generative artificial intelligence in higher ed and the challenges facing regional public universities, I’ve helped create a Chronicle series on student success, writing about a journalism class that saved a community newspaper in Georgia, a social-media influencer whose posts depicted her juggling working on her family orchard in Washington State while attending college classes, and a first-generation Native American student who founded an Indigenous student collective on her campus to help others like her.

My Background

Before joining The Chronicle in 2023, I spent a decade reporting on politics, media, and education for publications including The New Republic and Governing, where I was a staff writer, and The Washington Post Magazine, where I was a contributing writer.

I first moved to Washington, D.C., to attend American University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in political science and my master’s degree in journalism. My first reporting job was covering the neighborhoods of northwest D.C. for the local Current newspapers.
