While relatively new to Los Angeles from an East Coast upbringing, this city has already made me an immense fan of its diverse and unique range of cultures.

In the past, my work as a digital journalist has always been inspired by an interest in the communities I live in, and I find it deeply rewarding to help inform those communities. Previously, I worked for places like iHeartMedia, Fox 29 Philadelphia and CBS Philadelphia. While I have covered a variety of topics ranging from crime and politics to entertainment and sports, my favorite stories tend to involve uplifting and informing others of positive topics.

When I’m not working, my time is spent spoiling my pup and exploring the best spots to eat in the city.
