WELCOME

Since graduating college in 2013, I’ve worked as a crime reporter for two daily newspapers: The Post Register in Idaho Falls, Idaho and The Press-Enterprise in Riverside, California.
In that time, I have covered national stories, done hard-hitting investigations and written award-winning pieces on issues affecting local communities.
I’ve sifted through countless court documents and public records for stories, and spent hours with sources. My writing is precise, eloquent and structured.
Though I’m currently working as a breaking news reporter, my passion is reporting on people and communities who are disenfranchised by the criminal justice system.
