About me:
I’m an education data reporter for the Associated Press. My mission is to tell human stories through data, combining an analytical brain with a journalist's heart to deeply investigate and illuminate the state of our nation's schools and students.
My work collaborating with reporters across the country on groundbreaking series like The Pandemic's Missing Students, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting, has helped set the conversation about how the aftershocks of the COVID-19 pandemic are still impacting students today.
In addition to the AP, my work has appeared in USA Today, the Washington Post, Hechinger Report, and NPR stations in Texas, New York, and Louisiana. My specialty is covering education (former middle school math teacher here!), but I also have experience in covering science/health, business, real estate, municipalities, and crime.
