Chipped Away

This was a project in which I was the executive producer of all three elements (across digital and TV) for my investigative journalism class that was posted on NCC News. We focused on tackling the lead paint issue in Syracuse and its effects on underprivileged children. The piece has earned awards with BEA and ACP so far.

Work with USA TODAY

In 2024, I joined USA Today in working on their 'Driving Force' and '50a' projects, where we investigated New York Police and how different departments take accountability when their officers act irresponsibly on the job. I aided in data collection and organization, writing articles, and filing freedom of information requests. My articles are now posted in the Democrat and Chronicle, which has a paywall, but you can read them for free using the link below.

Work with Advance Media

Throught the first half of 2025, I had the honor of being the Newhouse School's first David Newhouse Fellow, which saw me team up with Challen Stephens and Advance Media's investigative teams from across the nation. I had the opportunity to cover various lawsuits, judges who receive suspicious gifts, and pesticide deaths. The fellowship gave me the opportunity to develop my skills in reporting on courts, writing articles on tight deadlines, and confronting organizations and individuals with hard truths about their activities.

Other Investigative Work

Take a peek at other investigative projects I have worked on ranging from topics of crime, to lead paint, to others. Pieces such as my lead paint story were nominated by Newhouse to submit to the Hearst Awards. More work to come soon!​​​

Search Party 

In the summer of 2024, I interned with Search Party, a media organization that investigates geopolitics and sports before presenting them in a way that is digestible to all viewers. I worked as an editor, fact-checker, copy editor, and asset manager / gatherer. I have attached some videos I contributed to.

Nuclear Weapons

I wrote this piece on statistics around nuclear proliferation in my data journalism class. I used it to study nuclear security and gauge the state of nuclear proliferation. Click on photo to download.

The Abuse of Media and Sport - World Cup 1978

This paper served as my history thesis which I used to investigate how Argentina's military junta used sport, media, and propaganda to try to legitimize their government both in Argentina and abroad.
