About Me

I am a multimedia reporter currently covering the pulse of the Bay Area for KQED News; Northern California’s PBS and NPR Affiliate. Working on the newscast team for one of the nation's highest-rated public radio stations, I produce multiple daily audio segments and weekly digital features that bridge the gap between complex policy and community impact.

My reporting focuses on urban policy, transportation and social justice. I thrive in high-pressure environments, utilizing industry-standard tools like Dalet, Adobe Audition, and live studio soundboards to deliver breaking news to a region of millions. My goal is to make essential information accessible and engaging.

Previously, I was a Dow Jones News Fund Business Reporting Fellow and a reporter for Oakland Voices, where I honed my skills in economic equity reporting. I am a graduate of UC Berkeley (Class of 2025), where I led coverage on Berkeley city government and police accountability.
